Prime Minister to visit Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales as the work of change begins to deliver UK wide renewal

On his first official engagement since being elected to office, the Prime Minister will visit Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales to meet with the Heads of the Devolved Governments as he drives forward a decade of national renewal. 

In an immediate reset, based on respect, service, and a focus on delivering for people,  the Prime Minister will use the meetings to discuss how the UK and Devolved Governments will work together tobegin the work of rebuilding our country.   

Prime Minister Keir Starmer said:

“People across the United Kingdom are bound by shared beliefs. Fundamental values of respect, service and community which define us as a great nation.

“And that begins today with an immediate reset of my government's approach to working with the First and Deputy First Ministers because meaningful co-operation centred on respect will be key to delivering change across our United Kingdom. 

“Together we can begin the work to rebuild our country with a resolute focus on serving working people once again.”

Following on from his conversations with the First Ministers and Deputy First Minister on Friday, the Prime Minister will emphasise that the election of his government signifies a turned page, with a relentless single focus on restoring public service to the UK Government.
