Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the Prime Minister's Oral Statement of 27 June 2016, Official Report, column 23, how much funding has been allocated to the new EU Unit.

A new EU unit will be set up in Whitehall, bringing together officials and policy expertise from across the Cabinet Office, Treasury, Foreign Office and BIS. It will be based in the Cabinet Office and report to the Cabinet on delivering the outcome of the referendum, advising on transitional issues and exploring objectively options for our future relationship with Europe and the rest of the world from outside the EU. The funding for the unit is yet to be determined.
