Department for Exiting the European Union written question – answered at on 28 February 2017.
To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what the 51 economic sectors are which have been identified by his Department during its work on the UK's negotiations to leave the EU; and if he will place a list of those sectors in the Library.
DExEU officials, supported by officials across Government, are carrying out a programme of sectoral and regulatory analysis. We are conducting analysis on over 50 sectors within the areas of goods; services; financial services; network industries; and agriculture and fisheries. We are also carrying out analysis on cross-cutting regulations. Together with extensive stakeholder engagement all this analysis will be used to inform the Government’s approach to, and during, the negotiations. As the Prime Minister has said, the government's plan for leaving the EU will be discussed at length. But as Parliament has also agreed, we will not publish anything that would undermine our ability to negotiate the best deal for the UK.
