Debate between Boris Johnson and Helen Grant

Wednesday 15th January 2020 Commons Chamber

[The Prime Minister]

I am happy to look at that campaign and will write to the hon. Gentleman in due course.

[Mrs Helen Grant (Maidstone and The Weald) (Con)]

Given the Prime Minister’s post-Brexit vision for an outward-looking, global Britain and given Africa’s huge potential for trade and investment, will he update the House on the Government’s plans for next week’s UK-African investment summit?

[The Prime Minister]

Yes. I am grateful to my hon. Friend, who has followed such matters with great interest over many years. The summit on 20 January in this country will be a chance to show people not only in the UK, but around the world, particularly in Africa, our huge commitment to Africa, our massive investments in Africa, and the massive opportunities to strengthen our long-standing ties, bonds and commercial relationships.
