Karl McCartney – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Karl McCartney on 2016-09-02.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps her Department has taken to prepare for the UK to leave the EU since 23 June 2016; and what further such steps her Department plans to take in the remainder of 2016.

Sir Oliver Heald

The Department for Exiting the European Union has responsibility for overseeing preparations for the withdrawal of the UK from the EU and conducting these withdrawal negotiations in support of the Prime Minister. In doing this it is working very closely with other government departments, including the Ministry of Justice, and a wide range of other interested parties.
