Government Response Acknowledged
HM Government Acknowledged
The UK is currently a member of a number of different small groups, both informal and formal, which serve a variety of purposes. Those groups have always evolved and will continue to do so. We believe that liberal democracies and open, market economies are, by virtue of those characteristics and their shared values, best-placed to achieve a common agenda, domestically and internationally. The Government will consider how that can best be advanced through current or new groupings.
