Asked by: Dave Doogan (Scottish National Party - Angus)

Question to the Department for International Development:

What discussions she has had with (a) her international counterparts and (b) international development non-governmental organisations on the planned merger of her Department with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

Answered by Anne-Marie Trevelyan - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

As with any government change like this, the announcement came first to Parliament. Baroness Sugg meets British Development Civil Society Organisations regularly. Strong consultation with a wide range of partners will continue to be a key component of our work to create the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.
