Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to her oral evidence to the Home Affairs Select Committee on 17 October 2017, by how much her Department's staffing budget will increase to accommodate the 700 additional caseworkers already recruited and the 500 to be recruited to assist with the process of registering EU nationals.
As stated by the Home Secretary at HASC, HMT will provide up to £60m of additional costs this year for additional activity as we leave the EU. Any decisions on budgets in future years will be published to Parliament in the usual way.
More detail of changes to the Home Office budget will be confirmed through the Supplementary Estimate, which will be laid before Parliament.
