Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what the Government's policy is on maintaining its commitment to spending 0.7 per cent of gross national income on overseas aid.
This question was answered on 9th September 2016
This Government remains committed to continuing the UK’s leading role on international development, including through spending 0.7% of gross national income (GNI) on overseas aid.
As an outward-looking, globally engaged nation, we believe that the UK should work to tackle international problems at their source – not wait for them to arrive on our doorstep.
