Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what funding her Department has provided for (a) disaster relief, (b) schemes which provide clean water and (c) vaccinations and inoculation against preventable diseases in each of the last five years; and how such funding is expressed as a proportion of her Department's total budget.

The Department for International Development (DFID) reports its total spend and spend by sector in the annual report that is published in June every year. This report is available online from our website: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dfid-annual-report-and-accounts-2013-to-2014.

DFID’s expenditure on disaster relief is reported under humanitarian assistance. DFID reports expenditure on clean water under water supply and sanitation as the majority of our programmes address these together, recognising that both are important for improving public health.
