Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they had with the government of Wales ahead of the UK–EU summit and what topics were on the agenda in those meetings.

The Welsh Government was engaged at both official and Ministerial level in the pre-Summit period. This included regular official-led meetings and bilateral meetings between the Minister for the Cabinet Office with the Welsh First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for the Economy. There was also an Inter-Ministerial Group on UK-EU relations in Edinburgh, chaired by the Minister for the Cabinet Office, the week before the Summit on 12 May.

Pre-Summit engagement included a range of topics, including potential summit outcomes that would be a devolved responsibility.
