Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if the Government will pledge £170 million to Education Cannot Wait over the next four years.

The UK is proud to be a co-founding member and currently a leading donor to Education Cannot Wait (ECW). Given the UK Government's response to the ongoing crisis in Ukraine and wider Official Development Assistance (ODA) pressures the FCDO and other ODA spending departments will need to revisit aid budgets to ensure all eligible spending is managed within 0.5 percent of Gross National Income this calendar year.

The UK Government remains committed to transparency and will provide an update to Parliament on spending plans in due course.
