Details
This memorandum further explains the FCDO’s entry in HM Treasury’s 2024 to 2025 Main Estimates presented to Parliament on 17 July 2024.
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 FCDO overseas superannuation. This is voted for separately by Parliament because it is deemed, for supply purposes, to be a department in its own right.
