Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, when he last met his Spanish counterpart; and what issues were discussed at that meeting.

I met my Spanish counterpart, Spain’s Secretary of State for European Affairs Jorge Toledo, on 4 November. We discussed developments in Catalonia and I underlined my support for upholding the rule of law and respecting the Spanish constitution. We also discussed Venezuela, and the UK’s departure from the EU.
