Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how much funding from the public purse was allocated to the international aid budget in each of the last 15 years; and what each amount was as a percentage of GDP.

In line with the reporting requirements of the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) the 0.7% Official Development Assistance (ODA) commitment is expressed as a percentage of gross national income rather than gross domestic product. The table below shows net ODA from 2002 to 2016, the latest year for which data is available, alongside of which is the ODA:GNI ratio for these years.
