Inter Mediate: Contracts

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, With reference to the answer of 10 April 2026, to Question 118788, on Inter Mediate: Contracts, whether all payments to Inter Mediate are reported (a) in the FCDO monthly spending data published on gov.uk where such payments are above the reporting threshold and (b) in the Cabinet Office Grant Database published on gov.uk.

Answer

For over ten years, Inter Mediate and the UK Government have successfully partnered to advance peace efforts around the globe, and the Hon Member will find details of payments to Inter Mediate in the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office's (FCDO's) transparency publications throughout that period.

The FCDO supports a range of civil society and non-governmental organisations through its mediation and conflict resolution programme. Given the sensitive and discreet nature of these efforts, we do not disclose details of all the individual projects supported. This ensures that neither the safety of partners, nor the integrity of ongoing peace efforts are compromised.

This approach is in line with the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and the FCDO's general policy on aid transparency, whereby information is excluded from publication where sharing it could pose risks to international relations, compromise the security and safety of partners, prejudice national security, or reveal personal data that could infringe on privacy or breach confidentiality.
