Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what discussions members of his Department's Europe Unit had prior to 12 July 2018 with representatives of EU member states and EU institutions on the White Paper on the future relationship between the UK and the EU.
In the run up to the publication of the White Paper, there was regular engagement with our EU counterparts. No copies were shared with other Member States.
Engagement at ministerial and official level will continue as we continue to negotiate aspects of the UK’s withdrawal from, and future relationship with, the EU.
