Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what plans they have to capitalise on the opportunities for public engagement, trade and tourism presented by hosting the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in 2018, both in London and across the UK.

We are delighted to be hosting the Commonwealth Summit in London and Windsor in April 2018. Strengthening our relationship with the Commonwealth and all its members is a priority for the Government. No final decisions have yet been taken on the agenda or structure but through collaborating with a broad range of stakeholders, we plan to deliver an ambitious, creative and innovative Summit that engages the British public and makes the most of all the Commonwealth has to offer.
