Stakeholder engagement is a central element of our plan to build a national consensus around our negotiating position. We are determined to listen and talk to as many organisations, companies and institutions as possible. We also plan to visit every region of the UK. We need to ensure that all views are reflected in the British Government's analysis of the options, priorities and opportunities for the UK as it exits the European Union. We have met with external stakeholders in a series of roundtable meetings and on ministerial visits, and we will continue to do so.
