Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many times the Women, Peace and Security Ministerial Steering Board has met since May 2019; and when the board is next due to meet.

At present, there is no Women, Peace and Security Ministerial Steering Board. However, the Government is considering the best way to strengthen governance and accountability as part of the development of the UK's fifth Women, Peace and Security (WPS) National Action Plan (NAP), 2023-27. Ministers have engaged regularly with civil society and experts as part of the NAP development process and are committed to continuing this engagement.
