Written Question
Cabinet Office EU Unit
Tuesday 11th September 2018

Asked by: David Jones (Conservative - Clwyd West)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what discussions his Department's Europe Unit had prior to 12 July 2018 with ministers or officials of the devolved administrations on the contents of the White Paper on the future relationship between the UK and the EU.

Answered by Chloe Smith

The UK Government has engaged with the Devolved Administrations throughout the process of exiting the EU. This has principally occurred through the Joint Ministerial Committee (EU Negotiations), chaired by the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, as well as other ministerial fora and bilateral engagement. The content of the White Paper was discussed at several ministerial meetings in the weeks preceding publication, specifically: two meetings of the Joint Ministerial Committee for EU Negotiations (chaired by the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster) on 22 June and 5 July; and, two meetings of the Ministerial Forum for EU Negotiations (co-chaired by the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union and the Cabinet Office Minister for Constitution) on 24 May and 27 June. Further information on these sessions can be found on Gov.uk. The devolved administrations also received embargoed copies of the White Paper in advance of publication.
