However, the Prime Minister has said that the UK will be leaving on 31 October – whatever the circumstances.</p><p> </p><p>On 1 August 2019, the Treasury announced £2.1 billion specifically to prepare for leaving the EU without a deal. £1.1 billion of this is an immediate cash boost to prepare critical areas for EU exit on 31 October, with a further £1 billion to enhance operational preparedness this financial year, if needed.</p><p> </p><p>Prior to this, the Government had already allocated £4.2 billion to prepare for a range of EU exit scenarios.
