Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what recent assessment his Department has made of UK progress towards the sustainable development goals.

Departments report regularly to Cabinet Office on their progress in delivering their Single Departmental Plans. This provides a mechanism for DFID and Cabinet Office to track progress towards delivery of the Sustainable Development Goals.

The Government will present a Voluntary National Review (VNR) assessing UK progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals at the UN High Level Political Forum in 2019. The Department for International Development (DFID) are leading on the review with support from my Department and working closely with other Government departments.
