The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has been allocated £29.6m for essential EU exit preparations in 2018-19. This will be spent on strengthening it's contribution to the Goverment's work, enabling it to develop our diplomatic network so it is better able to engage with our European partners in support of a successful EU Exit. We will also strengthen our bilateral relationships as we prepare to leave the EU, and will increase our staffing in London to work on a range of related issues. As with all Reserve funding, finalised allocations will be confirmed at Supplementary Estimates 2018-19 in early 2019.
