answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2019 answer text <p>The Department is tasked with successfully delivering the UK’s exit from the European Union. A key element of this is ensuring preparation for all possible scenarios, including leaving the EU without a deal.</p><p>Budget 2018 confirmed an additional £500 million of funding from the reserve for 2019-20, meaning the government will have invested over £4 billion in preparing for EU exit since 2016.</p><p>It is not however possible to attribute the Department’s costs to specific scenario planning such as “no deal”. This is because the Department does not record expenditure or forecasts against potential outcomes; it records expenditure and forecasts on a functional basis.</p><p>The Main Estimate for 2018-19, which details the budgetary limits for the Department, can be found on <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/main-supply-estimates-2018-to-2019" target="_blank">GOV.UK</a>. The Department has been allocated a delegated expenditure limit of £93.0m for 2018-19, which covers both ‘deal’ and ‘no-deal’ scenarios. This is just one element of cross-Whitehall spend.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 14/01/2019 13:17:30 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/01/2019 answer text <p>The UK Government currently does not plan to pay the Settled Status Fee for its non-UK EU citizen employees. The fee is set at an affordable rate (£65), less than the cost of a UK passport. Outsourced workers are not employees of the Department and therefore this would be a decision for their employers.</p><p>The number of non-UK EU citizens employed across the Civil Service is not consistently collected across Government. It is therefore not possible to estimate the cost of paying the settled status fee for non-UK EU nationals employed directly by the department.</p><p>We value the significant contribution made by EU citizens working in the Civil Service and we want these colleagues to continue to play a full role in the work of the Civil Service. We are committed to supporting our EU citizen employees across the Civil Service; the important engagement with EU national networks across government will continue over the coming months.</p><p>The Government has confirmed that, in a no deal scenario, the EU Settlement Scheme will continue to be implemented, enabling EU citizens and their family members living in the UK by 29 March 2019 to secure their status and continue to be able to work, study, and access benefits and services in the UK. The scheme will be fully open by 30 March 2019 as planned.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 04/01/2019 15:05:41 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
