<p>The government remains committed to the British Council. As the Integrated Review
made clear, the Council is one of the vital instruments of our influence overseas.
We agreed a 2021/22 Spending Review settlement totalling £189m, a 27% increase on
funding for 2020/21. The Council will continue to operate in over 100 countries promoting
the English language, UK arts and culture, and education. Our commitment to Global
Britain is clear through our hosting of the G7 last month, and the UK continues to
be a soft power superpower.</p>
