Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what account his Department is taking of the outcome of the Balance of Competences Review in formulating further Government policy on the UK leaving the EU.

We are carrying out a programme of sectoral and regulatory analysis, which will identify the key factors for British businesses and the labour force that will affect our negotiations with the EU as well as the issues that will affect our relationship with the EU on security, justice and migration​. We are​ also​ building a detailed understanding of how withdrawing from the EU will affect our domestic policies, to seize the opportunities and ensure a smooth process of exit.​ This work is drawing on a wide range of sources of information and analysis, as well as extensive stakeholder engagement and previous government work.​
