Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of value for money of his Department’s day to day spending.
Answered by
Catherine West
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
Value for money is an intrinsic part of what we do and is embedded in our work. We have effective systems and frameworks to deliver good value for money outcomes, and we are always looking for ways to improve. The Minister for Development recently appeared before the International Development Committee to reconfirm our commitment to value for money and our plan to modernise the UK's approach to development.
The FCDO2030 reform programme is also focused on delivering the greatest possible impact for the benefit of the British people. This will be our key priority for the next Parliament.
