Monday 19th February 2024

Asked by: Lord Bishop of Norwich (Bishops - Bishops)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government, following the Autumn Statement 2023, what assessment they have made of the suitability of the economic climate to enable them to return Official Development Assistance to 0.7 per cent of gross national income.

Answered by Baroness Vere of Norbiton - Parliamentary Secretary (HM Treasury)

The government remains committed to returning to a target of spending 0.7% of GNI on ODA when, on a sustainable basis, the government is not borrowing for day-to-day spending and underlying debt is falling.
