Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how many post legislative reviews (a) their Department or (b) their predecessor Department has undertaken on (i) primary and (ii) secondary legislation in each of the last five years.

In the last five years the FCDO and its predecessor Departments sponsored two pieces of primary legislation. Neither Act has yet been subject to post legislative review. This information is only held for internal administrative reasons and may not be exhaustive, for example, due to machinery of government changes to departmental structure in the last five years.

The number of post legislative reviews the Department has undertaken on secondary legislation in each of the last five years is not held within the Department.
