	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/07/2019 answer text <p>We remain focused on ensuring our smooth and orderly withdrawal from the EU with a deal. However, a responsible government prepares for all contingencies, and since the referendum.</p><p>The Treasury has allocated over £4.2 billion of additional funding to departments and Devolved Administrations for EU exit preparations so far. This breaks down as £412m over the spending review period for the Department for Exiting the European Union, Department for International Trade and the Foreign &amp; Commonwealth Office (Autumn Statement 2016); £286m of additional funding for 2017/18 (a full breakdown of which can be found in Supplementary Estimates 2017/18); over £1.5 billion for 2018/19 (Supplementary Estimates 2018/19); and over £2 billion for 2019/20 (Main Estimates 2019/20).</p><p>This funding is to cover all exit scenarios and is in addition to departmental efforts to reprioritise from business as usual toward preparations for the UK’s departure from the EU. Work on no-deal exit preparations cannot be readily separated from other EU exit work, given the significant overlap in plans in many cases.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 08/07/2019 10:24:26 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
