Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many statutory instruments relating to the possibility of a no-deal withdrawal from the EU on 29 March have been prepared in accordance with Cabinet Office guidance on consultation principles; and what alternative processes were used for those instruments not prepared in accordance with this guidance.

Departments use existing Cabinet Office principles on consultation for EU Exit SIs and non-exit SIs.

The government has laid 331 EU Exit SIs so far. Details of any consultations undertaken are explained in all SI’s accompanying Explanatory Memoranda. These can be found on gov.uk and legislation.gov.uk.
