I engage frequently with stakeholders from across Wales, including business on a range of issues including EU exit and preparedness.<\/p>
<\/p>
Most recently on 14 March and 11 April I held teleconference calls with my Expert Panel and Economic Advisory Board to discuss EU Exit. Representatives from the business community were on those calls including the CBI Wales, the South and Mid-Wales Chamber of Commerce and the West Cheshire and North Wales Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4086", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Alun Cairns"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Vale of Glamorgan"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Alun Cairns"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-05-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-05-15T12:55:49.987Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "28"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Wales"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Wales"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-05-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Business: Wales"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what recent steps he has taken to engage with businesses throughout Wales on preparedness for the UK leaving the EU without a deal.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1447", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andrew Rosindell"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Romford"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Andrew Rosindell"} ], "uin" : "251966"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/793179", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Wales Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/793179/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
I positively engage with businesses in Wales via regular meetings, literature and phone calls organised by my Department. I regularly meet with business stakeholders at roundtables, seminars, fairs and other such events and have restructured my department to ensure we put stakeholders at the heart of everything we do and are responsive to their interests and needs. I also routinely meet with my EU Exit Expert Implementation Panel of Stakeholders.<\/p>
<\/p>
In each of the last 12 months, myself and Minister Bebb have made the following number of visits to individual businesses in Wales. In addition to the below, members of the UK Government cabinet regularly visit businesses across Wales.<\/p>
