8 Looking ahead
58. Our planning for Session 2009-10 is constrained
by the knowledge that a Dissolution of Parliament must take place
by, at the latest, May 2010.
59. In July 2009 we announced our next major inquiry
under our general inquiry heading, Global Security. This major
inquiry, entitled Global Security: UK-US Relations, will
consider the relationship between the United Kingdom and the United
States of America, and the implications of this relationship for
UK foreign policy. We held our first oral evidence session in
this inquiry on 11 November 2009, and intend to conclude our evidence
gathering before the end of the calendar year, with the aim of
publishing our Report in March 2010.
60. We also intend to publish our Report on the FCO's
Annual Report 2008-09 in March 2010 (see paragraph 37 above).
61. We will continue our practice of visiting the
EU Presidency country: a visit to Spain, combined with visits
to Portugal, Cyprus and Malta, will take place in January 2010.
In order to continue monitoring progress and developments following
on from our earlier work, we also intend to revisit Israel and
the Occupied Palestinian Territories in February 2010.
