answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2016 answer text <p>As a leading member of the EU, the UK is a major influence on EU external policy and is able to shape the use of the EU’s available policy tools to enhance our security: for example, sanctions policy in respect of Russia and Iran and capacity building support to the states of the Western Balkans. I am in no doubt that Britain’s leading role in this process greatly contributes to the effectiveness of EU policy initiatives and thus maintaining peace and stability in Europe and beyond. All of that would be lost if Britain were to leave the European Union. I am clear that Britain is stronger, safer more prosperous inside the EU than it would be outside.</p> answering member constituency Runnymede and Weybridge answering member printed Mr Philip Hammond question first answered 24/05/2016 16:06:15 answering member 105 label Biography information for Lord Hammond of Runnymede

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2016 answer text <p>The decision in the forthcoming referendum is one for the British people alone to make. In the nearly 2 years I have been Foreign Secretary, I have visited over 70 different countries in 6 continents – and in no single one of them have I been told that Britain’s influence would be greater if it were not a member of the EU. On the contrary whether in China, in the USA, in Australia, in Nigeria, Britain is seen as more influential because of its membership of the EU. We get two bites of the cherry: Britain’s is a strong and influential voice in its own right; but it is also the voice of a leading Member State of the world’s largest economic block. Membership of the EU does not diminish Britain’s influence; it enhances it – and I speak from personal experience.</p> answering member constituency Runnymede and Weybridge answering member printed Mr Philip Hammond question first answered 24/05/2016 15:48:56 answering member 105 label Biography information for Lord Hammond of Runnymede

uin	29664
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/03/2016 answer text <p>It is for other national governments to explain their own approaches to further European political integration. A government may, for example, be in favour of greater integration in some areas of policy but not in others. As I said in my responses to PQ 27033 and 28406, there is clearly support in some governments within the European Union for further political integration, but there are other, more sceptical voices too. The Decision of the Heads of State or Government, meeting within the European Council, on 18 and 19 February 2016, makes clear that the Treaty references to an ‘ever closer union’ are “compatible with different paths of integration and do not compel all Member States to aim for a common destination”.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 08/03/2016 18:09:14 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington
