Reverse the decision to merge the DfID with the FCO
Maintain the DfID as a separate government department.
We need this Government department to be independent.
Having an independent department ensures that our historic record of service to the wider world is maintained, helping those most in need.
Merging the department with the FCO sends a powerful message that international development has been downgraded.
This decision has been taken without consultation, and against the wishes and advice of charities, and experts in the sector.
