Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions the Prime Minister had with the Secretaries of State for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland respectively before appointing Sue Gray as his envoy to the nations and regions of the United Kingdom.

The Prime Minister began immediate work to reset relationships with leaders in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and regional mayors in England. The Prime Minister travelled to meet with the First Ministers in Scotland and Wales, and the First Minister and deputy First Minister in Northern Ireland within the first week of being in office. He also hosted the regional mayors for a meeting in Downing Street. He has since had further correspondence and conversations with leaders across the nations and regions, including at the first Council of the Nations and Regions. He speaks regularly to the Secretaries of State for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, including at Cabinet meetings.
