Written Question
Ministry of Justice: Brexit
Tuesday 6th December 2016

Asked by: Ian Blackford (Scottish National Party - Ross, Skye and Lochaber)

Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what plans she has to discuss with the devolved administrations the implications for her policies of the UK leaving the EU.

Answered by Oliver Heald

The Prime Minister met the First Ministers of the devolved administrations in October and was clear that we must work together on EU Exit.

The Justice Secretary is hoping to meet with Justice Ministers from each of the devolved administrations in due course.

Furthermore, Ministry of Justice officials have had meetings with their counterparts from the Scottish Government and the Northern Ireland Executive to discuss the UK's exit from the EU and will be seeking to set up a similar meeting with officials from the Welsh Government, shortly.
