Overseas Aid
Wednesday 14th September 2016

Asked by: James Berry (Conservative - Kingston and Surbiton)

Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what steps her Department is taking to ensure value for money in its aid budget.

Answered by Priti Patel

My predecessors in Government have made huge progress in improving British aid by creating an independent aid watchdog, introducing much tougher value-for-money controls and making DFID’s spending even more transparent.
