Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what was the total cost of the Review of the Balance of Competences between the United Kingdom and the European Union, broken down by (1) staff time, (2) printing costs, (3) running of engagement events, (4) witness expenses, (5) publicity of the reports, and (6) any and all other associated costs.

There is no central record of the overall cost of the review. Each Department was responsible for allocating its own resources to meet its priorities, including delivering the reports on which it led or to which it had an interest in contributing.
