Recommendation
The FCO and DFID have shared ministers since February 2020, which may provide the model for ministerial portfolios in the new Department. However, it is not yet clear how many Ministers will serve in the new Department, whether the existing joint portfolios will be replicated, nor whether responsibilities will be divided in a new way. We recommend that the Government publishes a list of expected ministerial roles, with overviews of their portfolios and the reasoning behind these portfolios, before 1 September.
