Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Jeremy Hunt and Dan Jarvis

Tuesday 26th February 2019 Commons Chamber

[Mr Hunt]

My hon. Friend is absolutely right to ask that question, particularly about Africa, where the high commissioner or ambassador is the most senior person on the ground and has people from all Government Departments in the UK reporting to him. Making sure that we have a one-Government approach to our diplomacy will be a central part of our new fusion doctrine.

[Dan Jarvis (Barnsley Central) (Lab)]

Does the Foreign Secretary intend to continue sanctions against those persons, groups and entities currently subject to EU sanctions?

[Mr Hunt]

Broadly speaking, yes.
