Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the estimated operational cost of the EU settlement scheme is.
This question was answered on 31st January 2019
For the Financial Year 18/19, HM Treasury provided funding of £395million to Home Office. £170 million has been reserved for the development and delivery of the EU Settlement Scheme.
The Government will ensure the cost of this process is fully funded. What is important is that every EU, Swiss or EEA EFTA citizen and their family members who are here and want to stay, can stay, both in the event of a deal or no deal scenario, and that there is no financial barrier to their doing so.
