	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2018 answer text <p>Government departments make use of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) when structuring their engagements on preparations for leaving the EU, which is a crucial component of planning. It is for departments to determine the manner in which engagement with stakeholders takes place. Given the sensitive nature of some discussions, there may be limited circumstances in which departments have used NDAs to enable those conversations, thereby reaching more stakeholders than would otherwise be the case.</p><p>As I said in my previous answer, this department has put a limited number of NDAs in place in the course of its work. The department’s use of NDAs is limited to standard contractual arrangements with those providing services to support our work and are necessary to protect commercial considerations.</p><p>According to central records, the department has six current NDAs covering standard contractual arrangements with providers for activity including media monitoring, consultancy and research. Once awarded, we endeavour to adhere to cross-government guidance by publishing all contracts on the Contracts Finder within 90 days of award.</p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 19/11/2018 15:09:28 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris
