A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) setting out the commitments in the overall development partnership between DFID and the Palestinian Authority (PA) was in effect from July 2011 to March 2016, and was not extended beyond that point. Copies of correspondence relating to the extension of that MoU prior to March 2016 have been laid in the Commons library. Since then, DFID and the PA have signed separate MoUs on an annual basis, specifically linked to the governance arrangements for our programme of financial assistance to the PA.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
