<p>Spending began in autumn 2016, a few months after the referendum, when £400 million was earmarked for Brexit.</p>
<p><!--Ads3--></p>
<p>This was followed in the 2017 Budget by a further £3 billion to be spent during 2018/19 and 2019/20.</p>
<p>£250 million was drawn from the UK’s reserves in 2017/18 for Brexit spending, and at the 2018 Budget another £500 million was made available.</p>
<p>The Treasury has published a breakdown of how this £4.2 billion has been allocated.</p>
<p>Four departments have taken just over two-thirds of the total:</p>
<p>– The Home Office has received the largest portion – £935 million, or 22% of the total</p>
<p>– The Department for Environment, Food &; Rural Affairs received £788 million (19%)</p>
<p>– HM Revenue &; Customs was allocated £677 million (16%)</p>
<p>– The Department for Business, Energy &; Industrial Strategy took £410 million (10%)</p>
<p>Smaller amounts went to the likes of the Department for Transport (£120 million, or 3%), the Department of Health and Social Care (£71 million, or 2%), and the Food Standards Agency (£31 million, or 1%).</p>
<p>The additional £2.1 billion brings to £6.3 billion the total the Government has made available for Brexit.</p>
