Minister for the Union: Expenditure

Question: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how much funding has been allocated to the Minister for the Union every year since the office was established.

Answer: The title of Minister for the Union has been held by the Prime Minister since its creation in 2019. Departmental responsibility for the delivery of union policy has been split between the Cabinet Office and MHCLG during that period. The Scotland Office, Wales Office, and Northern Ireland Office also have responsibility for ensuring the government delivers for every nation in the UK. Budgets are allocated to departments, rather than specific ministerial roles.
