Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to expand the British Council's operations in EU member states in the run-up to Brexit.
The British Council plays an important role in maintaining strong and effective partnerships in Europe. British Council operations are primarily a matter for the Council and its Board of Trustees, but we regularly discuss priorities with them and will continue to do so, both for Europe and the rest of the world.
