Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what (a) total amount and (b) proportion of the reduction in ODA spending has been directly re-allocated to NATO spending.

The UK will step up to safeguard continental security on an enduring basis by increasing defence investment to 2.5% of GDP by 2027. Our increase in defence spending will be funded by reducing Official Development Assistance (ODA) from 0.5% to 0.3% of GNI. Precise allocations will be determined in the round during the Spending Review.
