Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what proportion of the Overseas Development Assistance budget was spent on accommodating asylum seekers in the UK in the most recent year for which figures are available.

I refer the Hon Gentleman to the FCDO’s publication of final UK Overseas Development Assistance for 2023, published in September 2024, and available at the following link:
