Foreign Affairs Committee: Work of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office
Committee hears from witnesses
The Foreign Affairs Committee will hold an oral evidence session examining the work and priorities of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). This scrutiny hearing will allow MPs to question FCDO officials on UK foreign policy, international development, and diplomatic operations across the department's global responsibilities.
This is a routine but important parliamentary scrutiny of a major government department responsible for UK foreign policy, trade relationships, and development aid. The hearing affects British diplomatic interests, overseas aid spending, and strategic relationships with international partners that directly influence economic and security outcomes for UK citizens.
