To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 30 June to Question 62275 on Defence: Finance, whether the FCDO contribution referred to will be included in the Defence budget in 2028.
- Answer

A proportion of Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) non-Official Development Assistance (ODA) programme spend will contribute to the UK NATO target across the Spending Review period.

The FCDO will continue to publish non-ODA programme spending plans in the normal way through the Annual Report and Accounts.
