Question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether his Department plans to raise the EU's Made in Europe initiative as an agenda item at the forthcoming UK-EU Summit.
Answer
We will hold the next UK-EU summit on 20th November in Brussels, where we aim to strike important deals that will boost our economy, cut red tape, help our businesses grow and provide opportunities to young people. The Summit will also be an opportunity to raise wider issues of mutual interest, including Made in Europe. We do not comment on the details of ongoing negotiations or speculations about specific proposals.25% vibes

The reply directly answers the question. It confirms the date and location of the Summit and states that Made in Europe is one of the wider issues the Summit will be used to raise. The asker would likely have enough specific, committed information to move on without a follow-up.
