UK development power diminished since Foreign Office merger, watchdog says
Britain’s international development power has diminished since the merging of two Government departments into one foreign affairs office, the UK’s public spending watchdog has found.
The loss of dedicated senior roles overseas as a result of the change in leadership structure has undermined credibility and accountability, according to the National Audit Office (NAO).
The findings are part of a report by the watchdog into the progress of the merger of the Foreign.
