PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
UK Relations with EU (4 July 2018)

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, pursuant to his Answer of 20 June 2018 to Question 153191 on UK Relations with EU, whether a UK-EU negotiating group representing the culture and sporting sector has been established to discuss future partnership issues with the EU; and if he will make a statement.

Asked by:
Dr Rosena Allin-Khan (Labour)

As we set out in our previous answer, to question 153191, we have already published the topics for discussion on the future framework jointly with the EU. This incorporates the economic and security partnerships outlined by the Prime Minister, as well as the institutional framework that will underpin them and other cross-cutting issues, including a cooperative accord on culture and education.

In light of the joint publication, we have been having regular discussions with the EU on aspects of our future partnership. We have outlined our positions on a wide range of topics and have continued to publish key documents, which are available on gov.uk, in support of these negotiations.
