Written Question
Development Aid
Thursday 19th June 2025

Asked by: Dan Tomlinson (Labour - Chipping Barnet)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when he plans to restore Official Development Assistance to 0.7 percent of gross national income in the context of the Spending Review.

Answered by Darren Jones - Minister for Intergovernmental Relations

To enable the government to invest more in security and defence, while remaining committed to our fiscal rules, the Prime Minister has taken the difficult decision to reduce Official Development Assistance (ODA) to the equivalent of 0.3% of GNI by 2027. The Spending Review (SR) 2025 ODA settlement delivers on this. The government remains committed to returning spending on ODA to 0.7% of GNI when the fiscal circumstances allow. The government will continue to monitor future forecasts closely, and each year will review and confirm, in accordance with the International Development (Official Development Assistance Target) Act 2015, whether a return to spending 0.7% of GNI on ODA is possible against the latest fiscal forecast.
