The Cabinet are to meet in the North of England to mark "Brexit Day"
It is part of a commitment to "engage more widely" across the whole of the UK
Boris Johnson has said next week's meeting of the Cabinet will be held in the North of England on Friday to mark Britain's departure from the EU.
The Prime Minister's official spokesman said that it was part of Mr Johnson's commitment to "engage more widely" across the country.
Downing Street announced last week that senior ministers would meet outside London to mark Brexit day on January 31.
Following the weekly meeting of the Cabinet in No 10, Mr Johnson's spokesman said: "The PM said the Government was determined to level up across the UK and to work for the whole country.
"The Prime Minister and the Cabinet have set out that they want to work for the entire country and they want to engage more widely across the UK and this is one of many opportunities to do so."
