§ Mr. MaudeTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many political party events have been held in British Embassies since 1 May 1997. [115340]
§ Mr. Robin CookIt is established policy that Government property should not generally be used for party activities. We have no record of any such event being held at a British Embassy in the period since 1 May 1997.
British Embassies do, of course, assist and advise MPs, Members of the devolved assemblies and MEPs, as appropriate.
