Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how much and what proportion of her Department's expenditure has been identified as relating to its work on the UK leaving the EU in 2017-18.

Exit is an all-of-government operation. The Department for Exiting the European Union is doing detailed work with departments to prepare for the upcoming negotiations by understanding the risks and opportunities of leaving the EU and coordinating planning.

EU Exit is managed within the existing departmental budget and given the interactions between EU exit work and the Department’s other priorities, it would not be possible to give an accurate figure.
