My hon. Friend raises a critical issue, that of ensuring that coherence and integration exist between the sustainable development goals and the post-2015 millennium development goals. I assure him that my Department is doing just that. Across Government, we have a single structure and approach to managing our engagement with both the high-level panel and the SDGs. The Prime Minister’s envoy is a senior DFID official, and is responsible for both those things.
Mr George Howarth (Knowsley) (Lab)
Will the Minister tell us what part conflict analysis and sensitivity play in the approach to the sustainable development goals?
