Stakeholder engagement is a central element of our ongoing plan to negotiate a successful outcome and achieve the best deal for the UK and the EU. We are committed to hearing from as many organisations, companies and institutions as possible, including trade unions.

One of the Secretary of State’s first meetings following the Department’s creation was with the General Secretary of the Trades Union Congress. The Secretary of State for the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial also meets the Trades Union Congress regularly.

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