To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether his Department has taken steps to ensure that (a) Azad Jammu Kashmir and (b) Gilgit Baltistan receive a fair share of UK bilateral overseas development aid for Pakistan.
Answered by Vicky Ford
Our aid in Pakistan is allocated to UK strategic priorities, which include global health security; girls' education; climate change; human rights and freedom of religious belief. We work to ensure that UK aid in Pakistan is focused on the most vulnerable, while achieving the maximum impact.
