Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what recent discussions they have had with the government of the United States, as host of the Global Fund’s seventh replenishment, about the UK’s contribution to that fund; and whether they intend to match the United States by increasing UK funding by one third to reach the replenishment target of $18 billion.

The Foreign Secretary and US Secretary of State recently discussed the upcoming 7th replenishment of the Global Fund. The UK has been a committed supporter of the Global Fund, investing over £4.1 billion in the organisation to date. We are the second largest donor to the 6th replenishment, with a pledge of up to £1.4 billion. The UK will continue to make a significant financial and leadership contribution to the Global Fund. We are currently reviewing the Global Fund's 7th replenishment investment case in line with our recently published International Development Strategy and will continue to work with all G7 and G20 members, including the US, to support progress in the fight against HIV, TB and Malaria.
