	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2017 answer text <p>The whole of Government is preparing for the UK to make an orderly and successful exit from the European Union. Cross-government governance arrangements are coordinating efforts across Whitehall. The Prime Minister established and chairs a Cabinet Committee on European Union Exit and Trade to oversee the UK’s exit at Cabinet level. The Committee meets regularly. Since the triggering of Article 50, two new subcommittees, chaired by the Prime Minister, have been established. One will oversee the negotiations on the UK’s withdrawal from and new relationship with the EU, and the second will focus on issues relating to the UK’s future trading arrangements with non-European countries. At official level, the cross-government EU Exit Analysis Board provides oversight and direction to analytical work related to EU exit, including sectoral and regional analysis, being undertaken across Whitehall. The Department for Exiting the European Union, working with officials across government, continues to undertake a wide range of analysis to support our negotiations, covering the entirety of the UK economy.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 24/07/2017 14:48:40 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
