answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2017 answer text <p>For financial year 2017/18 the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) has delegated a portion of its policy programme funding directly to the Embassies in its network, in order to better align financial accountability and policy delivery responsibility with programme activity and spend. Funding requests from the network were submitted to London and assessed by the policy strategy leads. Where country-specific programme activity is appropriate, the funding is managed by UK officials in country. Where a multi-country, regional or global programme approach is more appropriate, then the funding is managed by the directorate with the policy lead in London.</p> answering member constituency Uxbridge and South Ruislip answering member printed Boris Johnson question first answered 16/11/2017 17:00:25 answering member 1423 label Biography information for Boris Johnson
