Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office on 18 September (HC28764), why the aggregate amount of taxpayer funding provided to Inter Mediate since 2024 is not disclosable.

I refer the Noble Lord to the response provided in response to Question 28764 on 18 September, which for ease is copied below:

I refer the Honourable Member to the answer provided to Question 20637 on 8 September 2026. As set out in that response, payments to Inter Mediate are not disclosed because of the sensitive nature of the activities supported and the associated transparency exemptions applied by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).
