One day inquiry on International Relations: Diaspora and international
Thank you. Just picking up on your point, Claire, do you think there was a greater focus when there was a dedicated Minister with international as a title? Did you see a difference during that time, and has there been a difference since then?

Although UK Ministers have promised a free ID, as I've just mentioned, the details on this aren't in place, and doesn't it place another barrier in the way of voters? The UK Government should be tackling the real issues in our politics, and make it easier for…
