Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :
To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what recent estimate he has made of the cost to his Department of preparations for the UK leaving the EU without a deal.
The Department does not record costs on a scenario basis and therefore does not hold this level of information.
The Department has a budget of £94.4m for 2019-20. The Department’s expenditure from previous years is available on GOV.UK and the 2018-19 accounts will be published online once the audit is concluded.
