Members' Business: Commonwealth Day 2018

That the Parliament welcomes the theme for Commonwealth Day 2018, which is Towards a Common Future; acknowledges the work of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association's (CPA) British Islands and Mediterranean Region to strengthen its role within the association; congratulates Commonwealth Women Parliamentarians on its efforts to increase female representation in Commonwealth legislatures and towards the mainstreaming of gender considerations in all CPA activities and programmes, and notes the hope that the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in April 2018 will achieve its aims to reaffirm common values, address shared global challenges and agree how to work to create a better future for all citizens in the Commonwealth, particularly young people.
