Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he plans to make reductions in his Department's budget to fund the recently announced £16.6 million aid package to Ethiopia; and if he will make a statement.

The funding forms part of the £156 million in humanitarian aid that the UK previously committed to East Africa in financial year 2022-2023. The £16.6 million of UK funding is going towards the Productive Safety Net Programme (PSNP) and to the World Food Programme.
