Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have been advised of a visit to the UK by the Pope in 2018; and if so, whether such a visit will be pastoral or a state visit.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office does not discuss or disclose the details of possible visits by Heads of State or Government until invitations have been issued and accepted, and any announcement is made by agreement with the visiting Head of State or Government.
