Question for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office

UIN 909169, tabled on 24 November 2020

Mr Tobias Ellwood

Conservative

Bournemouth East

What plans the Government has for the publication of the Integrated Review of Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy.

Answer

James Cleverly

Conservative

Braintree

Answered on 24 November 2020

The Prime Minister commissioned the Integrated Review as the most ambitious review of our foreign policy since the Cold War. The Prime Minister set out in his speech to the House on 19 November how the UK will support a world order in which open societies and economies flourish. The Indo-Pacific is of central importance.

The Prime Minister is clear: Global Britain will be more active and engaged around the world. The FCDO is central to delivery and we will integrate development and diplomatic expertise to maximise UK impact as a force for good. We will apply a more strategic lens to our use of ODA to ensure it delivers both for the ‘bottom billion’ and in the UK’s national interest.
