Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Christopher Chope (Conservative). It was answered on Tuesday, 30 June 2020 on behalf of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
FCO Staff: Brussels
- Question
-
It is very disappointing that my hon. Friend has not got a target for the reduction in the number of bureaucrats in Brussels to take effect on 1 January next year. May I suggest that the target might be to reduce the current numbers of 250 down to 50? Can she explain why she does not think that is possible?
- Answer
-
I thank my hon. Friend for his follow-up question. As I am sure he would understand, as an independent country we of course want to have representation in Brussels because, after the transition period, what will be so important is promoting UK interests and UK influence overseas.
