Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he is planning an open consultation as part of the formation of his international development strategy.

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Secretary is leading work on the new International Development Strategy. We look forward to engaging with experts, partners and stakeholders, including from academia, civil society and Parliament, over the coming months. This will build on the extensive engagement and call for evidence that was undertaken to inform the Integrated Review.
