History

[edit]

A separate Ministry of Overseas Development was established byHarold Wilson when he came to office in 1964. The first three holders of the office served in the Cabinet, but from 29 August 1967 the office was demoted. UnderEdward Heath, the Ministry was re-incorporated into the FCO on 15 October 1970. Wilson again established the Ministry in 1974, but later merged it into the FCO once again: from 10 June 1975 to 8 October 1979 the foreign secretary served as Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs and Minister for Overseas Development in the cabinet, while the minister for overseas development held the rank of Minister of State within the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. The minister of state had day-to-day responsibility. Under the Labour government of the 1970s,Reg Prentice sat in the Cabinet during his term.[3] The post's last and main format was created in 1997 when the Department for International Development was made independent of theForeign and Commonwealth Office (FCO).

In June 2020, it was announced the Department for International Development would be dissolved, and its operations would be merged into theForeign and Commonwealth Office. The process was completed by 2 September 2020, with the last international development secretaryAnne-Marie Trevelyan remaining in place until that time.[4]

In 2022, the position was revised in the as a minister of state attending Cabinet during theTruss ministry.[5] From 2022 to 2024 under theSunak ministry, the position was combined with responsibility forAfrica as the Minister of State for Development and Africa.[6]
