View answerBetween now and the end of 2016, I will be attending three European Council meetings. I will travel to Brussels next week, on 28-29 June and again in October (20-21) and December (15-16).
I do not have any firm plans, at present, for other overseas visits. My officials, in conjunction with other relevant Government Departments and Agencies, are considering the matter with a view to developing recommendations. Careful consideration will be given to locations where significant opportunities exist to support and promote our efforts, at both EU and international level, to enhancing trade and bilateral relations, attracting investment and tourism, and growing export markets.
