Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, whether he or officials of his Department have held discussions with UK MEPs on regional priorities for the UK's negotiations on leaving the EU.

We are working closely with other Member states and our partners in the EU Institutions, including the European Parliament, to negotiate a successful outcome and the best deal for the UK. DExEU ministers are pursuing a programme of extensive engagement with the European Parliament which has included meetings with UK MEPs. This programme of engagement has laid the groundwork for constructive dialogue and we will continue to engage with MEPs through the process.
