answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/06/2020 answer text <p>It is an important principle that announcement of a change such as this should be made by the PM in Parliament first. Staff were informed straight after the announcement. We will work closely with staff throughout the process of implementing the merger. 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.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Berwick-upon-Tweed answering member printed Anne-Marie Trevelyan question first answered 29/06/2020 16:21:18 answering member 4531 label Biography information for Anne-Marie Trevelyan
