Like all departments, the Wales Office is helping to plan for a number of EU Exit scenarios to make sure that we are ready on Day 1. The department has reprioritised to ensure resources are available to do this.

Over £250m of additional funding has been approved across a number of departments in 2017/18 to prepare for Brexit, including the Wales Office. Any additional funding the department receives from the reserve for 2017/18 will be set out at Supplementary Estimates.
