the Department for Exiting the European Union, Department for International Trade
and the Foreign & Commonwealth Office at Autumn Statement 2016.</p><p> </p><p>£286m
of additional funding for 17/18 (a full breakdown of which can be found in Supplementary
Estimates 17/18).</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/679738/PU2137_Supplementary_estimates_web.pdf"

</p><p> </p><p>Over £1.5bn of additional funding for 18/19. A full breakdown of which
can be found in the Chief Secretary’s Written Ministerial Statement, HCWS540, laid

</p><p>HM Treasury was allocated £24.8m for costs arising as the UK leave the EU in
the Spring Statement 2018. The final breakdown between programme and administration
spend will be confirmed in the Supplementary Estimates. Staffing forms part of administration
spend, and it is currently estimated that most of the department’s additional funding
related to work on leaving the EU for 18/19 will be spent on staffing.</p>
