Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what plans he has to improve oversight of the UK aid strategy across government; and what steps he has taken in response to the National Audit Office recommended in its report on Managing the Official Development Assistance Target that his Department should improve its cross-government analysis of the effect of ODA expenditure.

In line with commitments in the UK Aid Strategy, the government has introduced robust monitoring, governance and oversight arrangements to ensure value for money of all Official Development Assistance (ODA) spend, including through setting up an ODA Senior Officials Group which reports to Ministers.
