<p>The Treasury has committed over £250 million of additional spending in 2017-18
to prepare for Brexit from the Reserve. Departmental allocations will be set out at
Supplementary Estimates in the usual way. This is in addition to the £412m of additional
funding over the parliament announced at Autumn Statement 2016 for the Department
of International Trade, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the Department for
Exiting the European Union. That means the government has allocated over half a billion
pounds so far in funding to ensure a successful exit from the EU. An update on Brexit
spending will also be provided at Autumn Budget.</p>
