Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide a breakdown of how the £55 million that has been allocated to it to deal with Brexit preparations in 2019-20 will be spent.
Answer
The Scottish Government will received £54.7 million consequentials (£48.8 million resource and £5.9 million capital) as a result of the UK Government allocating £2 billion of EU Exit preparation funding for 2019-20.
All Portfolios have benefited from the £54.7 million EU Exit funding consequentials being allocated via the 2019-20 Scottish Budget; these are fully absorbed in supporting work already underway, including EU exit preparation. These funds are not separately identifiable.
