All the spending to EU will be funded, irrespective of Brexit: Govt

"All of the spending commitments that the Chancellor will set out today are funded irrespective of a deal," the spokesman told reporters.

All the British government's spending commitments to be set out by finance minister Philip Hammond on Monday will be funded irrespective of whether Britain secures a deal with the European Union or not, a spokesman for Prime Minister Theresa May said.

On Sunday, Hammond warned rebels in his Conservative Party that he would have to quickly reverse plans to ease nearly a decade of austerity if London fails to get a Brexit deal.

"All of the spending commitments that the Chancellor will set out today are funded irrespective of a deal," the spokesman told reporters.
