Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what meetings his Department has had with Wirral Council to discuss preparations for the UK leaving the EU without a withdrawal agreement.

DfT supports MHCLG’s Brexit discussions with local authority leaders and local authority Chief Executives to outline its work on Brexit preparedness and to address transport queries.

No meetings have taken place with Wirral Council, but DfT is directly engaging with Merseyside Local Resilience Forum, which includes emergency responders, councils and other public services.
