The Committee will oversee the overall Government response, including both the economic impact and the negotiations at EU level and with the administrations in London and Belfast. The Cabinet Committee will continue to meet on a regular basis to deal with Brexit related issues. Brexit has been a matter of regular and detailed consideration by Government for some time, both in advance of the UK EU Referendum and since.
