Development Aid

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how much does she estimate the 0.2% of Gross National Income reduction in funding for Official Development Assistance from 2027 will amount to in pound sterling.

Answer

I refer the Hon Member to the statement made to the House by the Foreign Secretary on 19 March outlining the UK's Official Development Assistance (ODA) allocations for the period up to 2028-29, and to the accompanying documents setting out the detail of those allocations. I also refer him to the evidence provided by the Foreign Secretary and the Minister of State for International Development at the International Development Committee on 24 March, where they addressed questions at length about the Government's ODA policies and allocation decisions.
