Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what proportion of expenditure by the Defence Academy of the United Kingdom was classified as official development assistance between 2010 and 2016.

Prior to 2013, the Department did not routinely collate details of Official Development Assistance (ODA) activity to enable a detailed breakdown of ODA spend; consolidated figures for 2016 are not yet available. ODA-eligible Defence Academy activity funded from the Conflict Security and Stabilisation Fund (CSSF) is included from 2014 onwards.

The proportion of Defence Academy expenditure classified as ODA for the period 2013 to 2015 is circa:

2013 - 1.7%

2014 - 2.3%

2015 - 2.5%
