This memorandum gives further explanation of the FCDO’s entry in HM Treasury’s 2022 to 2023 Main Estimates presented to Parliament on 12 May 2022.
The estimate memorandum is divided into 3 sections:
- FCDO objectives, budgets, main areas of spending and drivers for changes in spending including efficiency initiatives
- detail on budget changes presented in the Main Estimate, in particular additional funding from the Treasury, funding returned to the Treasury and budget transfers between central government departments
- how FCDO spending relates to performance against priorities and also gives details of major FCDO projects
There is a separate memorandum for the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: Overseas Superannuation. The Overseas Superannuation Account is voted for separately by Parliament because it is deemed for supply purposes to be a Department in its own right.
