Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how much her Department will contribute to the International Development Association of the World Bank in the remainder of this Parliament.

The UK works closely with the World Bank Group's International Development Association (IDA) to support the world's lowest‑income countries. It delivers excellent value for the taxpayer and has continually been shown to be one of the most impactful organisations in tackling poverty.

The UK has pledged £1.98 billion to the 21st replenishment of IDA (IDA21), which covers a three-year cycle from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2028.

The remainder of this Parliament also spans the next replenishment cycle, IDA22. Decisions about future replenishments will be subject to future Spending Reviews.
