Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what assessment the Government has made of the potential effect of the outcome of the EU referendum on the future of the Union of the UK.

As the Prime Minister said to the House on 27 June, we must ensure that the interests of all parts of our United Kingdom are protected and advanced.

We are already in contact with the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland governments as we prepare for a new negotiation with the European Union.
