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.
