answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2018 answer text <p>The UK and Brazil have a close dialogue on issues of mutual interest and concern, both bilaterally and globally, including on climate and the environment. We are aware of a number of proposals reported during the recent election period. The new Brazilian President takes office on 1 January 2019. It is for the Government of the day to formulate its own policies and it would be inappropriate to speculate at this stage on the decisions that the new Government may make. Climate and environment issues form an important part of our work with Brazil and we look forward to continuing our dialogue on these.</p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 08/11/2018 16:30:00 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/11/2018 answer text <p>We assess that moving the Brazilian embassy to Jerusalem before a final status agreement would not help peace in the region. Our position on the status of Jerusalem is clear and long-standing: it should be determined in a negotiated settlement between the Israelis and the Palestinians, and Jerusalem should ultimately be the shared capital of the Israeli and Palestinian states.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 12/11/2018 15:59:08 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
