The Government remains steadfast in its commitment to this agenda.</p><p>The Integrated Review of Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy is expected to conclude later in the year, which will define the Government’s ambition for the UK’s role in the world and its outcomes will shape the objectives of the FCDO. Both the review and the merger are evidence of the Prime Minister’s commitment to a unified British foreign and development policy that will maximise our influence around the world, including on disability and gender equality.</p><p>As part of the merger discussions, we will review, refresh and build on all existing strategies, as well as developing new approaches where appropriate. We do not see the core ambitions of DFID’s Disability Inclusion strategy changing. The advancement of the inclusion of people with disabilities is as important now as when we published the strategy in 2018.</p> answering member constituency Aldridge-Brownhills answering member printed Wendy Morton question first answered 09/07/2020 16:03:58 answering member 4358 label Biography information for Wendy Morton
