Foreign Affairs Committee: Work of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office

Committee hears from witnesses

The Foreign Affairs Committee will scrutinise the work and priorities of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). This oral evidence session examines the department's performance in managing UK foreign policy, international development, and diplomatic operations across its global network.

The FCDO is central to UK foreign policy and Britain's international standing. Committee scrutiny holds the department accountable for its effectiveness in protecting UK interests abroad, managing diplomatic relations, and delivering development aid — all of which affect UK security, trade relationships, and soft power globally.
