Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, if he will take steps to secure greater separation of UK foreign policy from that of the US.

The UK has an independent foreign policy. However, the UK places great emphasis on the special relationship it holds with the US, and will continue to work with them on the most pressing challenges facing the world today. Our partnership has a very clear common agenda: ensuring our security, delivering economic growth and stability at home and across the world, and promoting our shared values.
