Question to the Ministry of Defence:
What recent assessment he has made of trends in the level of Official Development Assistance spending by his Department.
This question was answered on 15th March 2021
The majority of Defence activity falls outside the definition of Official Development Assistance (ODA), and only around 0.01% of Defence expenditure is reported as ODA.
Our ODA spend has unsurprisingly reduced in the current Financial Year (FY) due to the impact of the pandemic on some activities.
The Ministry of Defence’s ODA budget for FY2021/22 has not yet been confirmed.
