To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Penn on 4 January (HL4389), whether they will now answer the question put; namely, whether they will list in a single table in the answer to the question the constituent parts of the UK's financial commitments to the EU that the payment of c.£11bn sought to settle; and how much of that c.£11bn relates to each of those parts.

The European Union Finances Statement provides a breakdown of the purpose, timing and forecasts of material payments in relation to the financial settlement under the Withdrawal Agreement (WA), as well as other obligations, during the transition period. Editions from prior years and the most recent document for 2021 are available on gov.uk.

Details of payments made up to the end of 2022 and an updated estimate of the financial settlement will be outlined in the next edition of the European Union Finances Statement 2022 which is planned to be published in 2023.
