Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much Official Development Assistance his Department was allocated in the financial years (a) 2019-20 and (b) 2020-21; and what estimate his Department has made of the amount of Official Development Assistance his Department will be allocated for the financial year 2021-22.

The Ministry of Defence was allocated £5.5 million in Official Development Assistance (ODA) funding for financial years 2019-20 and 2020-21. Given the Department receives a ring-fenced budget for ODA expenditure, it is expected the allocation for 2021-22 will be similar to the previous two financial years.
