This information is not held centrally. However, following investigation, we have not found records of the Cabinet Office signing any non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) with private organisations or public organisations between 23 June 2016 and 22 August 2019, and since 22 August 2019, in relation to preparations for leaving the EU without a deal.

The new Government has changed the approach to NDAs. As announced on August 22 organisations working with government on Brexit will no longer be routinely required to sign NDAs.
