Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :
To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, in what ways he plans to provide people with information on how to prepare for the UK leaving the EU; and if he will make a statement.
Answered by Kwasi Kwarteng
We have developed a cross-departmental public information campaign to inform citizens and businesses about how leaving the EU might affect them, and advise on the steps they may need to take to prepare for EU Exit.
Over the coming weeks, we will be using a range of channels to direct UK citizens, businesses, EU citizens living in the UK and UK nationals living in the EU to a dedicated area on GOV.UK.
From the website, these different audiences will be able to view the latest authoritative information and guidance on any aspect of EU Exit relevant to them and find out what steps they may need to take to be prepared for the UK’s departure on 29th March.
We have already started to promote the first phase of our public information campaign on radio and through the Government’s own social media channels.
