§ Lorna FitzsimonsTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment he has made of the Foreign Policy Centre's recent report on Reinventing the Commonwealth. [90112]
§ Mr. Tony LloydWe share the view of the Foreign Policy Centre and other organisations that the role of the Commonwealth in the 21' century needs careful re-examination, particularly in order to ensure that its values, objectives and principles are more widely understood and shared. We consider the Centre's report a useful contribution to the debate.
