A key element of this is ensuring preparation for all possible scenarios, including leaving the EU without a deal.</p><p>The Department’s costs, along with planned Estimates for future years, can be found in the latest Annual Report and Accounts (<a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/727528/CCS207_CCS0618826768-1_DExEU_ARA_1718_PDF_Final_TEXT_v2__1_.pdf" target="_blank">link</a>).
