Ukraine: Foreign Relations
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what discussions her Department has had with the Scottish Government on the One Hundred Year Partnership Agreement with Ukraine.
Answered by Stephen Doughty
The Government's policy in relation to Ukraine, as with other aspects of the UK's foreign affairs and international relations, is a reserved matter under the terms of the Scotland Act 1998.
However, as several policy pillars of the 100‑Year Partnership fall within areas of devolved responsibility UK Government officials have engaged with counterparts in the devolved administrations to ensure that devolved implications are understood and that implementation in devolved areas proceeds smoothly.
