Question to the Department for International Development:

What steps the Government is taking to ensure that the UK maintains its expenditure of 0.7 per cent of GDP on development aid during the covid-19 pandemic.

There has never been a more important time to deliver on our 0.7% commitment, a commitment that this government has enshrined in law.

The UK has plans in place to meet this commitment whilst delivering value for money for the taxpayer and ensuring that we continue to support coronavirus response efforts.
