Proceeding contribution from George Osborne (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 20 October 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Comprehensive Spending Review.

Comprehensive Spending Review

Let me make two points. First, there is an increase of almost £4 billion in the DFID budget. Secondly, having a tri-departmental fund for DFID, the Ministry of Defence and the Foreign Office will help with conflict and supporting post-conflict stabilisation. It will grow from £229 million this year to £309 million in 2014-15—a growth of just short of £100 million. That will help us to avoid having to come into emergency situations, but it is, of course, pretty small given the scale of the increase that I have just announced in DFID's budget.
