Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, whether any element of the visit of Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to the UK was funded by her Department.
No element of the Crown Prince’s visit to the UK was funded by the UK’s Official Development Assistance, and DFID did not fund any of the visit.
During the visit, the two countries agreed to continued close cooperation on humanitarian issues, and signed three separate agreements to strengthen our shared response to global humanitarian and development challenges.
