View answerThe primary stakeholders engaging with the justice related aspects of the UK's withdrawal from the UK are internal to the Department of Justice and Equality and meet on a regular basis in a variety of different formats to discuss a wide range of relevant issues. In addition to this day to day engagement, six senior officers from each of the key areas in the Department (who are in turn supported by relevant staff) meet as a cross-divisional working group which focuses on the key negotiating issues and identifies areas where further analysis and preparations are necessary.
