Devolution

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what discussions he has had with Ministers from the devolved administrations since he took office.

Answer: The Government will fully involve the devolved administrations, including Scotland, as we prepare for negotiations on the UK’s exit from the EU.

Details of Ministerial meetings will be published in the Department’s Quarterly Transparency Returns, which will be made publicly available on GOV.UK.
