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
