What steps he is taking to enhance UK soft power overseas.
Answered by Wendy Morton

The Integrated Review highlighted the UK’s status as a soft power superpower.
The FCDO is continuing to fund projects and programmes that support UK soft power, including through a 27% increase this year in funding for the British Council
Since 2016, we have provided over £370m via the BBC World2020 programme, which has seen the creation of 12 new language services, and we continue to support our Chevening, Marshall and Commonwealth scholarships.
Our international leadership and determination to work as a force for good in the world is an important part of our soft power, as we are seeing through our hosting of the G7 and COP26, and our support for a globally accessible Covid-19 vaccine.
