Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask Her Majesty's Government in which sectors of commerce or industry they have requested or required that evidence of submissions made to them in connection with legislation relating to the UK's withdrawal from the EU be kept confidential.

HM Government uses multiple communication channels to reach a wide range of businesses to discuss a range of issues, including on EU Exit and associated legislation. This includes regular meetings with businesses, such as Sector Councils, the EU Exit Business Readiness Forums, media campaigns, phone calls, emails, letters, press releases and social media.
