PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: Brexit (19 December 2018)

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how much funding from the public purse has been allocated to his Department for financial year 2018-19 for planning for the UK leaving the EU without a deal; and how much of that funding has been spent.

Asked by:
Esther McVey (Conservative)

HM Treasury has already allocated over £4.2 billion of additional funding to departments and the devolved administrations for Brexit preparations so far. This includes the £1.5 billion of additional funding HM Treasury announced at Autumn Budget 2017 for 2018/19. A full breakdown of how this was allocated to departments can be found in the Chief Secretary’s Written Ministerial Statement, HCWS540, laid on 13 March (https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statement/Commons/2018-03-13/HCWS540/).

MHCLG did not receive Brexit preparations allocation for the financial year 2018/19.
