Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to the British High Commission Islamabad press release entitled New UK-Pakistan partnership will bolster Pakistan’s Geological Survey, published on 16 April 2026, whether the partnership entitles the UK to have priority purchasing and importing any minerals extracted.

I refer the Hon Member to the press release he mentions in his questions, which sets out in detail the purpose of this project.
