<p>HMG has held numerous meetings with the business community since the Referendum
in June last year. 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>
