Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, pursuant to the Answer of 19 January 2015 to Question 220652, what proportion of the target £1.8 billion has been allocated to date for 2015-16; and to what that funding has been allocated.

Part of this spend is attributed to ongoing projects. The remainder will be committed subject to Ministerial approval of individual business cases, ensuring value for money is being achieved in line with our £5m Ministerial sign-off policy.
