Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what commitments were made to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in April 2018 for which they have shared responsibility; what resources were promised for each commitment; and what is the proposed timetable for the implementation of each commitment.

As stated in the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting: Written statement (HLWS616) made by Baroness Evans of Bowes Park on 23 April, we agreed a range of actions with fellow members to build a Commonwealth which is fairer, more sustainable, more secure and more prosperous. These commitments were captured in a Communiqué and accompanying Leaders' Statement, copies of which have been placed in the House of Commons Library by the Prime Minister. We refer the noble Lord to these statements and documents.
