Question to the Attorney General:

To ask the Attorney General, what steps the Law Officers' Departments have taken to prepare for the UK to leave the EU since 23 June 2016; and what further such steps the Law Officers' Departments plan to take in the remainder of 2016.

The Department for Exiting the European Union has responsibility for overseeing preparations for the withdrawal of the UK from the EU and conducting these withdrawal negotiations in support of the Prime Minister. In doing this it is working very closely with other government departments, including the Attorney General’s Office, and a wide range of other interested parties.
