Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Draft Agreement on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community, published on 14 November, what discussions they have had with the Welsh and Scottish Governments concerning their representation in the proposed Joint Committee provided by Article 164.

The UK Government has been clear from the start that the devolved administrations should be fully engaged in the process of our Exit from the European Union and we remain committed to this.

Regular discussions are held between the UK Government and the Welsh and Scottish Governments on EU Exit. There have now been fifteen meetings of the Joint Ministerial Committee on EU Negotiations. It met most recently on 19 November 2018 and continues to meet on a monthly basis.
