Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what representations he has made to the Chancellor of the Exchequer on maintaining the UK’s commitment to spend 0.7% of GDP on Official Development Assistance (ODA); and whether the whole ODA budget will be spent by his Department.

Spending 0.7% on ODA is set in law. Most of the ODA budget is spent by DFID.
