Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how much her Department has spent in China in each year since 2005-06.

DFID closed its bilateral programme to China in 2011. Our relationship with China is now based on identifying ways in which our countries can work together to promote development and the reduction of poverty in poorer countries or on global development issues.

Figures on Overseas Development Assistance can be viewed in the Statistics on International Development: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-international-development/about/statistics .

The table below details bilateral spend DFID disbursed to China from 2005/06 to 2013/14.
