What it examines

Responds to parliamentary scrutiny of the UK–Nigeria development partnership, including the committee’s concern that reducing forced displacement is not a key criterion in BII investment decisions. Government describes BII’s work on inclusion and fragile contexts. It also rejects a separate review of risks to the wider partnership, relying on existing oversight arrangements.

Why it matters

Direct scrutiny of FCDO oversight and BII’s development role. The committee’s concern about BII and its recommendation for a partnership-wide risk review are distinct; this response does not establish a new investment mandate or capital commitment.

Published 22 September 2026. The government response was received by the committee on 1 September.
