Foreign Affairs Committee: Integrated Security Fund

Committee hears from witnesses

The Foreign Affairs Committee will hear oral evidence on the Integrated Security Fund, a cross-government financing mechanism designed to coordinate spending on defence, diplomacy, and development to address shared security threats. The inquiry examines how the Fund pools resources across departments to improve Britain's strategic response to geopolitical challenges, particularly in relation to major powers and regional instability.

The Integrated Security Fund represents a significant shift in how the UK allocates public money to foreign and security policy. How effectively the government deploys these resources will affect Britain's diplomatic leverage, military capability, and soft power globally—and ultimately the costs borne by taxpayers. The Committee's scrutiny will test whether the Fund delivers value for money or duplicates existing spending.
