They do appear to be given some money to the Leave campaign but then it states the same money will given to the Remain campaign which makes it seem this is separate from those funds.
The thing is if HMG aren't neutral then we're paying civil servants to help political campaigning. I can see why they shouldn't be neutral but at the same time it makes me uneasy. Not really sure how to square that aspect of it.
Still this is obviously a bit much if they don't give the same chance to the Leave campaign.
