The Government is seeking to engage local councils as we exit the European Union. The leaders of local government associations in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland were invited and met with the Minister of State for Exiting the European Union on 21 February. The Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union has committed to meeting combined authority mayors once they are elected in May and further ministerial engagement with councils is planned after the May local government elections.

Question
to the Department for Exiting the European Union :
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of the White Paper <i>The United Kingdom’s exit from, and new partnership with, the European Union</i>, Cm 9417, how many of the around 150 stakeholder engagement events held across the UK by ministers from the Department for Exiting the European Union took place in (1) the South-West of England, and (2) Cornwall.
Answered by Lord Bridges of Headley
The DExEU Ministerial team has committed to visiting every region of the UK. Ministers from the whole of Government have held meetings across the country to prepare for the negotiations. Ministers have visited the South West of England twice since the creation of the Department; DExEU ministers are yet to visit Cornwall.
We are planning more regional visits throughout the UK, including to the South West of England, as we continue to build a national consensus around our negotiating position.
Details of Ministerial meetings will be published in the Department's Quarterly Transparency Returns, which will be made publicly available on GOV.UK.
