As set out in my Written Ministerial Statement to the House of 18 December 2018, departments were allocated over £2bn of funding for 19/20 to prepare for all EU Exit scenarios. A full breakdown can be found in the statement, (https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statement/Commons/2018-12-18/HCWS1205/). Additional funding has been provided for the Single Intelligence Account (£13.95m); the Home Office (£5.45m); the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (£5.6m) and Department for Transport (£6m) since that announcement.
