We have already started a wide-ranging programme of engagement in order to build a national consensus, listening to organisations, institutions and companies in as many sectors as possible to establish their priorities and understand their concerns, and also to hear what they think the solutions could be.<\/p>

One of the Secretary of State\u2019s first meetings was with the General Secretary of the Trades Union Congress. I and my Ministerial colleagues have also met with a wide range of representatives from business groups, the universities, the charity sector and farming and fisheries organisations.<\/p>

In the weeks ahead, we will continue to engage with as many other firms, organisations and bodies as possible, including with trade unions.
