Details

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.
