Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the overseas aid budget in cash terms in the next financial year.
This question was answered on 13th November 2017
The government has committed to spend 0.7% of Gross National Income (GNI) on Official Development Assistance (ODA) in each calendar year. Spend on ODA next year will therefore reflect GNI forecasts published by the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) on 22 November. According to the latest available data, UK spend on ODA in 2016 was £13.3 billion.
