Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

What recent discussions his Department has had with representatives of the services sector on the implications for that sector of the UK leaving the EU.

We continue to engage regularly with companies and trade bodies across the services sector, to discuss their priorities and inform our negotiating position.

The Prime Minister set out in her Mansion House speech the Government’s proposal for a deep and comprehensive future partnership with the EU, including a broader agreement in services than ever before. This should include a labour mobility framework that enables travel to provide services to clients in person, and continued mutual recognition of professional qualifications.
