Cabinet Committee C assists the Government in its ongoing consideration of Brexit. It also covers other EU and international issues and supports my participation as a member of the European Council. It last met on Thursday 21 June, in advance of the European Council on 28/29 June.
Given their significance, matters relating to Brexit and other EU issues are frequently discussed by the full Cabinet. I also meet regularly with Ministers to focus on particular issues, including those relating to the European Union and Brexit, with a view to seeing how Government can best support delivery of priorities and commitments.
Preparation for Brexit at official level in regard to the negotiations and in preparing for the potential consequences of the UK's withdrawal from the EU, is intensive, with a range of interdepartmental and senior official groups meeting very regularly.
