Written Question
Department for Exiting the European Union: Brexit
Wednesday 2nd October 2019

Asked by: Angela Eagle (Labour - Wallasey)

Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what meetings her Department has had with Wirral Council to discuss preparations for the UK leaving the EU without a withdrawal agreement.

Answered by James Duddridge

Local government plays a vital role in preparing the country to be fully ready for Brexit on 31 October.

We have stepped up our preparedness significantly and speak regularly to councils and partners, including through the Local Government Brexit Delivery Board and a network of nine regional chief executives. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government leads this engagement.

Every council has designated a Brexit Lead Officer to work with central government to intensify their local preparations and, in total, we have made £77 million available to help local areas get ready for Brexit.
