Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, by what process any inter-administration differences on negotiations for the UK leaving the EU were resolved in the seven months between February and October 2017.

The Joint Ministerial Committee (EU Negotiations) is the formal mechanism for inter-administration discussion on negotiations for the UK leaving the EU. In the period between February and October 2017 when JMC(EN) did not meet, the First Secretary of State and the Secretary of State for Exiting the EU held a series of bilateral meetings with the devolved administrations on a range of issues related to EU Exit.
