Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the resources needed to support preparations for exiting the EU, and of the extent to which the £3 billion announced in the Budget Statement will be sufficient to support those preparations.
The future funding requirements and the timescale over which they will be needed are dependent on the outcome of our negotiations with the European Union. The £1.5 billion set aside in both 18/19 and 19/20 is to ensure departments have sufficient resources to undertake key preparatory activities over the next two years.
