Written Answers
Humanitarian Aid
Asked by: Lord Bates (Conservative - Life peer)
Monday 30th March 2026

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what contribution from the UK aid budget they intend to make to the Global Humanitarian Overview 2026 Appeal launched by the United Nations Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

Answered by Baroness Chapman of Darlington - Minister of State (Development)

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, HLWS1431, and the accompanying documentation setting out the impact of those allocation decisions. I also refer him to the evidence provided by the Foreign Secretary and I to the International Development Committee on 24 March, where we addressed questions at length about the Government's ODA policies and allocation decision: https://committees.parliament.uk/event/26907/formal-meeting-oral-evidence-session/.

Development Aid: Children and Women
Asked by: Lord Bates (Conservative - Life peer)
Tuesday 31st March 2026

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether the prime beneficiaries of UK aid are women and children.

Answered by Baroness Chapman of Darlington - Minister of State (Development)

The UK is committed to putting women and girls at the heart of everything we do, including our development spending. The Foreign Secretary recently announced that women and girls will be a central theme across all the FCDO's work - including development. She also announced a new target that at least 90 per cent of our bilateral Official Development Assistance programmes will have a focus on women and girls by 2030.
