Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans, if any, they have for the criteria for allocating Official Development Assistance to be redefined.

HM Treasury will allocate future Official Development Assistance (ODA) budgets at the 2020 Comprehensive Spending Review.

We will build on the process and criteria used at the 2015 Spending Review to allocate ODA, taking into account a range of factors, including, but not limited to, value for money and strategic alignment with the Government’s priorities, in line with the conclusions of the Integrated Review.

The Government expects the same high standards from ODA as it does from all Government expenditure.
