USA: State Visits

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what is the estimated cost of her Department's planning for the state visit to the US in April 2026.

Answer

This historic State Visit will commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States and will reaffirm the vital and enduring UK-US relationship that is central to our shared prosperity, security and history.

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office does not hold a central record of the requested data. Planning for State Visits is undertaken as part of staff's normal duties and is delivered largely through existing departmental resources. The information could therefore only be collated and verified for the purposes of answering this question at disproportionate cost.
