Question
to the Department for Exiting the European Union :
To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, how many meetings have taken place between officials of his Department and representatives of the European Round Table of Industrialists since July 2016.
Answered by Suella Braverman
Ministers and officials in the Department continue to engage with business in the UK and across Europe to explain our approach for a principled Brexit, and ensure that we can draw on business insight to deliver a pragmatic one.
The previous Secretary of State met the European Roundtable of Industrialists in January 2018, and again with the Prime Minister in May of this year. Official-led engagement has supplemented this engagement.
Details of these engagements, along with all other ministerial and senior official engagements, is available through the quarterly transparency returns.
