DR 357: Letter to the Chairman of the Committee from Rt Hon David Miliband MP, Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs

 

 

Thank you for your letter of 22 October about the FCO Ministerial Team.

 

As you know, Ministerial appointments are at the discretion of the Prime Minister. There have been many different arrangements of Ministerial portfolios among FCO Ministers. The Minister dealing with EU and European matters has often had responsibilities for other subjects as well. I and my Ministerial team are confident of our capacity to discharge our responsibilities to Parliament and to provide Ministerial leadership of the Department.
