Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 29 April 2019 to Question 247049 on Manufacturing Industries, what proportion of the £4 billion allocated to preparations on the UK leaving the EU is being spent supporting manufacturers facing uncertainty.
Since the referendum, the Treasury has in total allocated over £4.2bn across government to help departments and devolved administrations prepare for Brexit. It is for departments to decide on the most appropriate way of allocating this to areas in their remit.
For details of the allocations to departments in 2019/20, please see the Chief Secretary’s Written Ministerial Statement, HCWS1205, laid on the 18th of December 2018.
