Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions they have had about Brexit with local authorities in areas where the majority of the electorate voted for Remain in the 2016 referendum on the UK’s membership of the EU.

This Government is working with local authorities and a wide range of other interested parties to understand the opportunities and challenges of EU Exit and plan for a wide range of scenarios. We are working to make a success of EU exit for all local authorities and places, whether their areas voted ‘Leave’ or ‘Remain’.
