PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Department for International Development: Staff (16 June 2020)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what assessment she has made of the effect of the merger of her Department with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office on the number of staff employed by her Department.

Asked by:
Wendy Chamberlain (Liberal Democrat)

Answer

Merging the departments will bring together the best of what we do in aid and diplomacy, and create new opportunities for staff. The ambition, vision and expertise of DFID staff will be at the heart of the new department – taking forward the work of UK aid, which will remain central to our mission. There will be no compulsory redundancies.
