The government has provided: over £4.2bn of additional funding from 2016 to the present financial year (2019-20) for departments and devolved administrations to prepare for all EU exit scenarios (a breakdown of these allocations can be found in Table E.6 (page 77) of HM Treasury\u2019s 2018 Annual Statement on European Finances); a further £2bn for the 2020-21 financial year, announced at Spending Round 2019.<\/p>

<\/p>

For no-deal preparations specifically the Chancellor also: made £2.1bn available on 1 August 2019 for this financial year (2019-20); confirmed the HMG Guarantee on 30 September 2019, which would apply if the UK leaves the EU without a deal and should the EU cease to fund UK organisations after EU exit. This guarantee relates to UK organisations in receipt of certain EU programme funding. The total amount expected to be covered by the guarantee would be £4.3bn for this financial year.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4483", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Rishi Sunak"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Richmond (Yorks)"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Rishi Sunak"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-10-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-10-07T12:53:18.28Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-10-02", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Treasury: Brexit"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much his Department budgeted to support (a) other Government departments and (b) the Government\u2019s arms-length agencies in preparation for the UK leaving the EU without a deal in each financial year since 2016-17.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4471", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Rachael Maskell"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "York Central"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Rachael Maskell"} ], "uin" : "293645"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1147741", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1147741/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

HM Treasury\u2019s Women in Finance Charter reflects our ambition to see an improved gender balance in the financial services industry. Charter signatories have committed to implement strategic actions to improve their gender balance at a senior level.<\/p>

<\/p>

To date, over 350 financial services firms have signed the Charter, covering over 800,000 people. Of these, around two thirds of signatories have headquarters in London and around one third have headquarters elsewhere in the UK.<\/p>

<\/p>

We only hold information on the location of each signatory\u2019s headquarters and so we are unable to provide an estimate of how many workers in each area are covered by the Charter. For example, some of the signatory organisations headquartered in London will have locations in other areas of the country. Of the over 1 million people employed in the financial and insurance sector in the UK, 63% work outside London.<\/p>

<\/p>

Our second annual review of the Women in Finance Charter was published on 14 March 2019 and demonstrated that 72% of signatories had increased the proportion of women in senior management over that period. Firms who have been signed up for two years made more progress in the second year than in the first. We are in the process of gathering data for the third annual review which I hope will show further progress.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4051", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for John Glen"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Salisbury"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "John Glen"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-10-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-10-07T14:11:20.893Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-10-02", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Women in Finance Charter"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many organisations in (a) Yorkshire and the Humber, (b) London and (c) the UK have signed up to the Women in Finance Charter; and how many workers in each such area are covered under that Charter.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4471", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Rachael Maskell"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "York Central"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Rachael Maskell"} ], "uin" : "293647"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1147743", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1147743/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

We would prefer to leave with a deal, and we continue to work in an energetic and determined way to get that better deal.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government is turbocharging preparations to ensure we are ready to leave with or without a deal on 31 October, and all necessary funds will be made available.<\/p>

<\/p>

The fundamentals of the British economy are strong \u2013 real wages are growing; employment is at a record high and the unemployment rate is at a historic low.<\/p>

<\/p>

Short-term forecasting is undertaken by the Office for Budget Responsibility in line with its statutory duty. In line with its remit, the OBR\u2019s forecasts include the economic and fiscal impact of government policy on EU exit where the effects can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Bank of England has provided analysis of the EU exit impacts on the UK economy consistent with its responsibilities on monetary policy.<\/p>

HMRC use data analytics tools to identify companies which have submitted a company tax return including dormant accounts when HMRC hold information to suggest company activity during the return period. Any companies identified will normally be subject to an enquiry.<\/p>
