<p>The Independent Commission for Aid Impact (ICAI) will continue to scrutinise aid
spending. The publication of all ICAI reports will continue, including those commissioned

scrutiny of UK aid. With the formation of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development
Office, the House of Commons may wish to reconfigure the select committee structure.
