Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how much and what proportion of the Government's total spending on Official Development Assistance was spent on in-donor refugee costs in financial year 2022-23; how much and what proportion of that spending was disbursed by the Home Office; if he will make an estimate of forecast Official Development Assistance spending on in-donor refugee costs in financial year 2023-24; and if he will make an estimate of how much and what proportion of that spending will be disbursed by the Home Office.

Statistics on International Development is the official source of information on Official Development Assistance (ODA). ODA is measured on a calendar year basis rather than financial year. The latest published data is available on GOV.UK in Statistics on International Development: Provisional UK Aid Spend 2022. Supplementary Table 1 shows that the UK spent £3,686 million on in-donor refugee costs in 2022 on a provisional basis, which was 28.9 per cent of total UK ODA. Of this, the Home Office spent £2,382 million (64.6 percent of the UK's total in-donor refugee costs).

Provisional figures for 2023 will be published as normal in Statistics on International Development in Spring 2024.
