This has included over 350 individual meetings, roundtables and other types of engagement with sectors across the economy and in every region of the UK. Engagement with business has included discussions on a wide range of issues.</p><p> </p><p>A cross-government Business Advisory Group, consisting of the five main business representative organisations, has also been established to ensure business is not only heard but is influential throughout the negotiations. The Prime Minister chairs a quarterly Business Advisory Council to hear directly from senior business leaders on the key issues across EU exit, and the wider economy. This engagement has helped to inform our positions on the implementation period and the deal we are seeking with the EU. The insight and analysis provided as a result of this close dialogue is incredibly valuable as we seek a bold and ambitious future partnership with the EU.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 16/11/2017 17:32:44 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
