Spending on Brexit preparationspublished at 13:03 British Summer Time 4 September 2019
Reality Check
If you're trying to keep a tally, the Treasury says that the £2bn for general Brexit planning next year is in addition to the £2.1bn that Boris Johnson previously allocated for no-deal Brexit preparations.
Add that to the £4.2bn previously put towards Brexit preparations under Theresa May's government and you have a grand total of £8.3bn.
