answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2016 answer text <p>The Prime Minister’s Office is integral part of the Cabinet Office.</p><p>The Government is united in its ambition to deliver a successful withdrawal from the EU and a new relationship with Europe. Cabinet Office will work together with the Department for Exiting the EU (DExEU) and other departments to deliver this. The Prime Minister has instructed all departments to identify potential opportunities that will arise in their areas from EU exit. Cabinet Office is working closely with DExEU to ensure that the full range of opportunities is identified, and risks mitigated across areas of Cabinet Office responsibility.</p><p>The Cabinet Office exists to support the Prime Minister and ensure the effective running of government. We are also the corporate headquarters for government, in partnership with HM Treasury, and we take the lead in certain critical policy areas. As a result, rather than having stand-alone projects related to the UK’s exit from the EU, all aspects of Cabinet Office responsibility are now adapting to the current context, which includes preparing for the UK’s exit from the EU.</p> answering member constituency Ipswich answering member printed Ben Gummer grouped question UIN 53886 question first answered 28/11/2016 10:02:41 answering member 3988 label Biography information for Ben Gummer
