The UK Government is making additional funding available so that departments and the devolved administrations can prepare effectively for EU Exit. More than £4.2 billion has been provided since 2016, including over £2 billion for core Brexit activity in 2019-20 for deal and no deal preparations.

The 2019-20 allocations were announced in a Written Ministerial Statement on 18 December 2018. The devolved administrations received their full share of additional funding in devolved areas through the Barnett Formula, with the Welsh Government allocated £31.1m. This follows Barnett-based allocations to the Welsh Government of £3.7m in 2017-18 and £21.4m in 2018-19.

It is for departments and devolved administrations to decide where to allocate EU Exit funding across reserved and devolved responsibilities respectively.
