answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/04/2017 answer text <p>HM Treasury is responsible to Parliament for the control of public resources – this includes overall responsibility for ensuring good value for money and setting departmental budgets. This responsibility remains as we prepare to leave the EU.</p><p> </p><p>However, to ensure those closest to the decisions have the authority to manage public money efficiently and effectively, departments have a certain level of autonomy over expenditure which is not novel, contentious or repercussive.</p><p> </p><p>Therefore, whilst HM Treasury has oversight of policies with significant spending implications, the Treasury will not monitor each individual cost incurred to prepare for EU Exit, including those relating to the Civil Service. This treatment is in line with the spending framework applied to all other expenditure.</p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 18/04/2017 15:16:23 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2017 answer text <p>I set out the nature of the guarantees which the UK Government has committed to in my answer of 7 October 2016. The Barnett formula has never had any role with regard to the determination of EU funding. As such, the Barnett formula has no role in determining the levels of funding which we have committed to covering through those guarantees.</p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 16/01/2017 13:46:58 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke
