Answered by Chris Heaton-Harris
Ministers and senior officials from DExEU and across Government continue to engage extensively with businesses and industry bodies from all sectors of the economy and all parts of the UK. This includes regular meetings of the Tourism Industry Council which acts as a point of dialogue between Ministers and the industry, and roundtable meetings with airlines and tour operators. These meetings have covered a range of EU Exit issues and their impact on the industry.
Details of Ministerial and senior official meetings on Government business are published in the Department’s Quarterly Transparency Returns, which are made publicly available on GOV.UK.
