<\/p>

Over £1.5bn of additional funding for 2018-19. A full breakdown of which can be found in the Chief Secretary\u2019s Written Ministerial Statement, HCWS540, laid on the 13th March 2018 (https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statement/Commons/2018-03-13/HCWS540/<\/a>)<\/p>

Ministry of Justice was allocated £17.3m for costs arising as the UK leave the EU in the Spring Statement 2018. The final breakdown between programme and administration spend will be confirmed in the Supplementary Estimates.<\/p>

In bidding for 2018-19 funding, we estimated that around 60% of this would be required for staffing.

EU Exit is an all-of-government operation. The Department for International Development is doing detailed work with departments to prepare for Exit by understanding the risks and opportunities of leaving the EU and coordinating planning. Staff within the Europe and Trade for Development teams lead on providing advice to Ministers on EU Exit and exit-related issues. Members of staff across the Department also provide advice and analysis on EU Exit issues as required. Given the interactions between EU exit work and the Department\u2019s other priorities, it would not be possible to give an accurate estimate of the time and resources that have been allocated to the production of impact assessments on the UK leaving the EU.<\/p>

Impact Assessments are typically related to specific new primary legislation before Parliament and are narrowly defined. Civil servants conduct any Impact Assessments related to legislation as business as usual. The Government laid an impact assessment alongside the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill, which can be found on our website. Our broader analysis continues.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4137", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Rory Stewart"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Penrith and The Border"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Rory Stewart"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-01-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-01-09T11:33:58.547Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "20"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "International Development"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "International Development"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-12-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Department for International Development: Brexit"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what estimate he has made of the (a) amount of time and (b) resources that have been allocated to the production of impact assessments on the UK leaving the EU; and on what date work on those impact assessments started.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/151", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Tom Brake"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Carshalton and Wallington"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Tom Brake"} ], "uin" : "120825"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/786917", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for International Development"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/786917/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

\u200bThe British Government consistently lobbies against the application of the death penalty, and against the carrying out of such sentences when they are imposed.

We cannot give or pay for legal advice, start legal proceedings on their behalf or interfere in local judicial procedures.

We have provided significant support to Mr Tsege and his family. We secured Mr Tsege's transfer from solitary confinement to a federal prison and access to a lawyer so he can discuss his legal options.
