To tackle poverty and advance our Global Britain objectives, the Foreign Office takes evidence-based spending decisions and maintains high standards of programme delivery that are consistent with HMG best practice. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office will ensure it meets any revised spending targets as a result of changes in UK Gross National Income.
