In answering this question, I am interpreting "working groups" as groups which are working towards completion of particular projects or tasks rather than groups which meet on an ongoing basis to provide strategic oversight on cross-cutting Government issues underpinning the work of the Cabinet Committees, including Brexit. Accordingly, the information sought by the Deputy is detailed in the table below.
