Written Question
French Front National
Tuesday 4th April 2017

Asked by: Adam Holloway (Conservative - Gravesham)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what the rationale is for the Government's longstanding policy on contact with the Front National in France; and whether he plans to review that policy in the next three months.

Answered by Alan Duncan

​It has been the longstanding policy of this and previous governments not to engage with the Front National, based on positions the party has adopted in the past. We keep this policy under review.
