As the Prime Minister made clear in his appearance before the Liaison Committee, Global Britain must be more outward looking and more engaged than ever before.

The Integrated Review will set out in detail how we will achieve this, and the Comprehensive Spending Review will allocate the resources to do so. This is about using the totality of resources at our disposal, including our development resource, in an integrated way that delivers greater impact for UK aid; builds modern, strategic partnerships; and delivers on UK diplomatic and political interests.

The Integrated Review will conclude in the autumn; it would not be appropriate to pre-empt its conclusions.
