To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, further to the FCDO Annual Report and Accounts 2025-26, HC521, of 16 July 2026, page 247, whether the UK Government provided Overseas Development Assistance to India in 2025-26, and why there is a negative figure for 2024.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, further to the FCDO Annual Report and Accounts 2025-26, HC521, of 16 July 2026, page 247, whether the UK Government provided Overseas Development Assistance to India in 2025-26, and why there is a negative figure for 2024.
The UK Government spent Official Development Assistance (ODA) in India in 2025-26 and this data will be published in due course. While the UK has phased out traditional bilateral aid programmes in India, India remains ODA-eligible. Our funding in India is focused on tackling climate change and is primarily delivered through investments in a modernised partnership with the Indian government. Our approach helps build markets and mobilise private capital, creating opportunities for firms and workers in both countries.
UK ODA spending is reported on a calendar year basis. In 2024, the UK's ODA spend on India-related programmes was negative, as we received more from previous investments than we invested that year. This is because our funding is primarily through co-investments with the Government of India, not traditional aid grants.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, what steps he has taken to increase the exports of Scotch Whisky, including to the US and India.
Scotch whisky is one of the UK’s largest drink export sectors, and the Government is working to remove market access barriers and support exporters. Through the UK-India Free Trade Agreement, tariffs on Scotch whisky were reduced from 150% to 75% when the agreement entered into force on 15 July and fall to 40% over the next 10 years. On 24 July, the US removed tariffs on UK-produced whisky following successful negotiations by the UK Government. This supports a sector that exports around £1billion of whisky to the US each year.
