As such, departments are best placed to provide an estimate of spend to date. HM Treasury requires departments to achieve value for money as part of receiving these additional funds, in line with the guidance set out in Managing Public Money. Two ministerial directions were made in relation to EU Exit in 2018 – by Defra and DfT. This is publicly available here researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/CBP-8412/CBP-8412.pdf. The Treasury does not centrally hold records for each direction, further information should be requested from the relevant departments.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 16/01/2019 14:22:11 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
