Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the Prime Minister's oral statement of 27 June 2016, Official Report, column 23, what steps the Government plans to take to ensure cross-party input at each stage of formulating national goals and strategy.

Decisions on the mechanisms for negotiating the future of the UK's relationship with the EU are a matter for the next Prime Minister and the next Cabinet. It is a matter for Parliament to decide what structures it uses for holding that Government to account as the negotiations move forward.

It will also be important to ensure that the interests of all parts of the United Kingdom are protected and advanced.
