Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, whether her Department plans to assess official development assistance spending by other Government departments against the International Aid Transparency Index; and if she will make a statement.

Under the UK Aid Strategy all government departments will aim to achieve a good or very good rating in the Aid Transparency Index by 2020. The Government will make arrangements for an assessment of the aid transparency rating of all departments to be made by 2020. DFID will continue to support departments to achieve this goal.
