	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/02/2018 answer text <p>Given the role of the Attorney General’s Department, it does not lead on specific projects related to the UK leaving the EU and therefore has not incurred any additional expenditure. None of the Law Officers’ Departments has received direct funding therefore for work relating to the UK leaving the EU. Members of staff across the Law Officers’ Departments provide advice and analysis on different issues as required, and different Government departments bid for funding from HMT to pay for their resource needs, including the services of the Government Legal Department (GLD).</p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland question first answered 22/02/2018 07:46:55 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland previous answer version 42260 answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland
