Andrew Rosindell – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Andrew Rosindell on 2015-10-13.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment he has made of the effect of John Boehner’s resignation as US Congress Speaker on US-UK relations.

Mr Hugo Swire

I was sorry to hear of Mr Boehner’s resignation. He has been a good friend to the UK and a strong advocate of the transatlantic relationship. It is unclear at this stage who the next Speaker will be but we remain confident that, whomever is selected, the UK-US relationship will remain as vibrant and strong as ever. We look forward to working with his successor.
