Question

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Anelay of St Johns on 24 January (HL4702), what is the policy that has resulted in the British Embassy in Paris having had no contact with Marine Le Pen.

Answer

It has been the longstanding policy of this and previous governments not to engage with the Front National, based on positions the party has adopted in the past. We keep this policy under review.
