Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to page 270 of his Department’s report entitled FCDO annual report and accounts 2024 to 2025, published on 22 July 2025, whether the increase in spending on multilateral subscriptions to international organisations includes contributions to global health multilaterals.

No, spending on global health multilaterals is captured within the health section of the report, alongside bilateral health programmes.

The UK is committed to our work on global health, including boosting global health security and investing in multilateral funds like Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, and the Global Fund to fight disease and help save millions of lives.

From 2026 to 2030, the UK will invest £1.25 billion in support of Gavi's mission. This will support the immunisation of 62.5m children, saving around 1.25m lives.
