answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2019 answer text <p>The UK has long standing ties with the Commonwealth through our shared history, language, values and legal system. As current Chair-in-Office we continue to work with the Commonwealth Secretariat, member states and the Commonwealth organisations and networks to ensure that the Commonwealth realises its full potential, by promoting democratic values and development, increasing trade, helping tackle global challenges such as extremism and climate change, and standing up for small states. As my Rt Hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary set out in his Written Ministerial Statement on 14 January, we are making concrete progress in delivering on commitments made at last year's Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting to enhance security, prosperity, fairness and sustainability.</p><p>As part of our commitment to the Commonwealth, the former Foreign Secretary announced last year our intention to open 9 new missions in Commonwealth countries (Lesotho, Eswatini, The Bahamas, Antigua and Barbuda, Grenada, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Samoa, Tonga and Vanuatu). We expect these missions to open this year. Opening missions in these countries will expand the UK's diplomatic network from 38 to 47 Commonwealth members – a practical demonstration of our ambition and intent to increase the resources which the Government is devoting to Commonwealth member states.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 20/03/2019 12:58:03 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2019 answer text <p>​Once the UK leaves the EU, the rules governing the EU's representation in the UK, and the UK's representation in the EU, will be based on those governing the UK's and the EU's relationship with third countries. In relation to the EU's status in the UK, it is normal for the EU to conclude an agreement with a third country to underpin its status in that country. It will be important to have in place a framework that allows for the smooth conduct of relations.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 12/03/2019 15:07:17 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan
