Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent discussions he has had with the President of the Government of Catalonia.

I have had no discussions with Joaquim Torra, the President of the regional Government of Catalonia. The situation in Catalonia is a matter for Spain and the position of the British Government on Catalonia is well known: we want to see the rule of law respected, the Spanish constitution upheld and Spanish unity maintained.​
