question text	Her Majesty's Government, in the light of their commitment to a more outward-looking Global Britain, what steps they are taking to ensure that Government departments refrain from anti-internationalist rhetoric.
tabling member printed	Lord Judd
uin	HL305
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2017 answer text <p>As the Prime Minister said to the UN General Assembly, the United Kingdom has always been an outward-facing, global partner at the heart of international efforts to secure peace and prosperity for all. She also pledged that the UK will be a confident, strong and dependable partner internationally – true to the UN's universal values. Both the rhetoric, but also the policy at the heart of this government's approach, make it clear that our posture must be internationalist as we build a new, deep and special partnership with our European neighbours and seek to strengthen our global role and relations. This sets a clear tone for all Government departments' approach.</p> answering member printed Lord Young of Cookham question first answered 18/07/2017 15:31:53 answering member 57 label Biography information for Lord Young of Cookham
