Development Aid

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the reply by Baroness Chapman of Darlington on 4 November (HL Deb 1808) stating that official development assistance allocations will be published "in the coming months", what plans they have to make a statement under section 2(4) of the International Development (Official Development Assistance Target) Act 2015 alongside these allocations.

Answer

I refer the Noble Lord to HLWS887 made on 22 July 2025, published alongside the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office's (FCDO) Annual Report & Accounts 2024-25. If, when published, the FCDO annual report and accounts for 2025-26 shows that the 0.7 per cent target has not been met in calendar year 2025, the government will make the relevant statement as set out in the International Development Act 2015.
