Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what recent discussions she has had with stakeholders in the international aid sector on her policy on the UK's contribution to the Global Financing Facility for Every Woman and Child (GFF) in advance of the GFF replenishment conference in November; and if she will make a statement.

The Secretary of State for International Development recently held separate meetings with senior leadership at the World Bank, the Norwegian Government and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, where the UK’s contribution to the Global Financing Facility (GFF) was discussed. My officials have also had detailed discussions with the GFF team in the last few weeks. Decisions about any potential future support from the UK will be taken in due course.
