Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they are confident that they will be able to secure an initial deal on Brexit by 18–19 October European Council meeting.

Both the UK and EU are working towards reaching an agreement in October. The UK’s main priority remains getting a good deal, and we are still working to ensure we get that good deal within the timetable that enables us to leave the EU on 29 March 2019.
