This memorandum further explains the FCDO’s entry in HM Treasury’s 2023 to 2024 Main Estimates presented to Parliament on 18 May 2023.
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.
