Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Chapman of Darlington on 27 November 2025 (HL11898), when they expect to appoint the Prime Minister’s Special Representative on Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict; what interim arrangements are in place pending that appointment; and how the functions of the role are currently being discharged.

I refer the Noble Baroness to the answers provided on 27 November 2025 to Questions HL11898 and on 9 March to Questions HL14650 and HL14651. We will provide further updates in this area in the usual way in due course, reflecting the Foreign Secretary's decision to make the protection of women and girls one of the core priorities of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office's work over the coming years.
