uin	HL7334
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/08/2020 answer text <p>Given the likely decrease in the size of the economy this year, and therefore a decrease in the value of the 0.7% commitment, a package of £2.9bn of reductions in the Government’s planned ODA spend has been agreed. This package includes underspends, delaying activity and stopping some spend. The package will see some reductions made now, with arrangements in place to tailor spending further during the remaining months as we start to gain a clearer economic picture. As normal, there will continue to be adjustments in-year to individual departmental ODA spend to meet the 0.7% commitment.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 03/08/2020 11:48:56 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

uin	HL7338
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/08/2020 answer text <p>Across East Africa and the Horn of Africa, 25.8 million people are severely food insecure and 1.3 million have been affected by floods since March. The UK has responded to localised flood impacts through the START Network, including provision of relief items and recovery programming.</p><p>We are deeply concerned about the food security situation. Heavy rains in the region have provided conditions conducive to the unprecedented locust outbreaks, which will affect the food security situation even further. The UK is supporting the Food and Agriculture Organisation’s (FAO) emergency appeal to help to control the increase of locusts across East Africa, as well as reduce the risk of swarms spreading into the Sahel.</p><p>The humanitarian situation will be exacerbated by the impact of COVID-19. We are urgently redirecting UK aid programmes right across Africa to respond to these compound risks.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 06/08/2020 11:33:03 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/08/2020 answer text <p>The UK Government remains committed to delivering 12 years of quality education for all girls.
