Asked by: Michael Gove (Conservative - Surrey Heath)
Question to the Scotland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, if he will place in the Library a list of public consultations, White Paper and other documents his Department plans to publish to assist the UK in making effective the Government's plans for the UK to leave the EU within the two year timetable from the triggering of Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty.
Answered by David Mundell
The Department for Exiting the EU is leading the UK government’s efforts on exiting the EU, and as the Prime Minister has said, we do not approach these negotiations expecting failure, but anticipating success.
The Secretary of State for Exiting the EU published a White Paper on ‘The United Kingdom’s exit from and new partnership with the European Union’ on Thursday 2 February.
I and my officials will continue to work closely with other parts of the UK Government and the Scottish Government, and we will continue to engage stakeholders in Scotland.
