Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, whether her Department's share of the Official Development Assistance budget will be reduced in the event of a decrease in GNI.
This question was answered on 18th June 2020
The UK has a legal commitment to spend 0.7% of its gross national income (GNI) each year on Official Development Assistance (ODA). This commitment is linked to GNI. HM Treasury allocates ODA budgets to departments and is responsible for decisions on changes to these allocations.
