Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether (1) the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, (2) the Ministry of Defence and (3) the Department for International Development, will ensure that all equalities, including gender equality, are included in the outputs and policy of the Integrated Review of Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy; and if so, how.

Following the Chancellor's announcement that the Comprehensive Spending Review is being delayed, the Integrated Review has been paused given the pressing need to focus on COVID-19. We will return to the Integrated Review when appropriate to do so, ensuring that we engage with all relevant stakeholders.
