Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, if the Government will publish its letter to trigger Article 50 for public scrutiny after it has been issued to the European Commission.

When we trigger Article 50, it will need to be done through a communication to the European Council.

The Government will continue to be as open and transparent as possible, as long as this does not undermine the UK's negotiating position.
