	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/02/2022 answer text <p>Following our withdrawal from the European Union, the UK is able to pursue an independent foreign, trade and security policy. As set out in ‘The Benefits of Brexit’, this gives us greater flexibility to pursue the UK’s international objectives: to sit at the heart of a network of like-minded countries, defend human rights and uphold global norms. This new and agile approach is demonstrated through AUKUS. AUKUS is a concrete articulation of the UK’s ambition, made in the ‘Integrated Review’, to deepen defence, security and foreign policy ties with like-minded partners in the Indo-Pacific and more widely across the globe. The agreement reflects the unique level of trust and cooperation between our three countries.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 07/02/2022 15:09:09 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis
