I personally will be meeting with the PA’s Minister for Education to discuss these issues this week. Our timeline for the textbook review remains unchanged. We will publish findings from the review by September 2019. The UK has been convening discussions with potential international partners on commissioning the review together, in order to increase the impact of the study. We will commission the review once we have concluded these discussions. We will publish further information once the assessment has been commissioned.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 21/01/2019 17:19:14 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

The Government will continue to press at G7 and G20 meetings for greater priority to be given to malnutrition in all its forms, as the Report recommends.

For example, the UK Japan Joint Statement issued on the occasion of Prime Minister Abe’s visit on 10 January 2019 committed the UK and Japan to work together toward the success of the Global Nutrition Summit in Tokyo in 2020.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 15/01/2019 15:30:53 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
