To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, with reference to the Answer of 19 October 2023 to Question 202276 on Development Aid: Genito-urinary Medicine, if he will publish updated data on (a) (i) bilateral, (ii) multilateral and (iii) total spending on Sexual Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR) and (b) what that spending is as a proportion of Official Development Assistance in line with the methodology set out in the Donors Delivering for SRHR report 2023 in (A) 2019, (B) 2020 and (C) 2021.

Based on FCDO "Statistics on International Development: final UK aid spend 2022", and the Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) spend methodology laid out in the Deutsche Stiftung Weltbevölkerung (DSW) led "Donor Delivering for SRHR" 2023 report:

(ii) The total amount of UK ODA SRHR funding disbursed by multilateral aid was £202 million in 2019, £329 million in 2020, £279 million in 2021.

(iii) The total amount of UK ODA SRHR funding disbursed was £748 million in 2019, £730 million in 2020 and £534 million in 2021.

The total proportion of ODA spend in line with the methodology set out in the Donors Delivering for SRHR report 2023 is as follows:

(a) 4.93% in 2019

(b) 5.04% in 2020

(c) 4.68% in 2021
