Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the real terms change in the budget of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office over the next three years.
This question was answered on 6th April 2022
As published at the Autumn Budget and Spending Review 2021 (SR21), the average annual real terms growth for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) is 4.4% from 2021-2022 to 2024-25.
It is standard practice for the Government to set budgets in cash terms. The FCDO, like other departments, is expected to manage risks of inflation within its budget.
