Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how much her Department spent during the Prime Ministers' tenure as Chair-in-Office of the Commonwealth between 2018 and 2022.

When Commonwealth leaders came together in London for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in 2018, they agreed a range of ambitious policy objectives to create a fairer, more sustainable, more prosperous, and more secure Commonwealth. To help realise that vision, the UK announced over half a billion pounds of programmes and projects across HMG, covering a range of important policy themes. Details of UK delivery against these commitments, overseen by the FCDO, are set out in our two comprehensive Commonwealth Chair-in-Office reports: 2018-2020 https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/916018/UK-Commonwealth-Chair-in-Office-Report-2018-2020.pdf

and 2020-22,
