Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what steps he is taking to ensure that local government representatives are included in the negotiations on the UK's exit from the EU.

DCLG is determined that the voice of local government is heard in negotiations, and both Ministers and officials have an ongoing dialogue with local government on this issue. For instance, David Davis will have monthly meetings with the Mayor of London, and local government representatives are members of the DCLG Exiting the EU Programme Board which oversees the department’s work.
