So my first hours in post amounted to an instant introduction to the skills and capabilities of the Foreign Office and the global reach of Britain. This provided the basis for everything the Foreign Office did in 2016-17. I hope I have made clear my own determination that a Global Britain should widen our horizons and become even more active on the world stage. “A global foreign policy is not an optional extra, still less a vainglorious trophy; it is part of who we are.” As I never cease to point out, Britain has a larger global presence than any of our peers. To offer one example: over six million British citizens are permanently resident overseas – about 10 per cent of the total population – giving the UK a proportionately bigger diaspora than any other country of our size and wealth. A global foreign policy is not an optional extra, still less a vainglorious trophy; it is part of who we are.

This is something of concern across the House.

    May 2010 Minority Ethnic Matters Overview MEMO+ is an occasional series of briefing papers on topics of interest to minority ethnic communities in Scotland. Supported b y It is produced by the Scottish Council of Jewish Communities in partnership with the Black and Ethnic Minority Infrastructure in Scotland , and is supported by the Scottish Government. Briefing: The New UK Parliament and Government General Election Results The elections to the UK Parliament in May 2010 resulted in the Conservative Party having the largest number of seats although no single party has an overall majority. Number of MPs elected in each political party Conservative 306 Labour 258 Liberal Democrat 57 Democratic Unionist Party 8 SNP 6 Sinn Fein 5 Plaid Cymru 3 Social Democratic & Labour Party 3 Alliance Party 1 Green 1 Independent 1 One seat still has to be decided. This is because one of the candidates for Thirsk and Morton died after nominations closed. As a result, no voting took place in that constituency, and a by-election will be held on 27 May. Negotiations between the main parties have resulted in an agreement to form a Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition government, the first such agreement since 1945. The practicalities of this are not yet clear, but the Ministerial team includes MPs from both parties, and some policy compromises have already been announced. 1 MEMO+ The New UK Parliament and Government May 2010 How does the Parliament work? The Speaker The Speaker, who is elected from among their own number by the MPs themselves, chairs proceedings in the House of Commons.
