question text	To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the answer of 14 July 2015 to Question 6473 and with reference to Tables 2.5 and 2.3 in the March and Summer Budget books, how the £1 billion reduction in the Department for International Development's Resource Department's Expenditure Limit has been reallocated.
tabling member constituency	Wakefield
tabling member printed	Mary Creagh
uin	7359
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2015 answer text <p>The Government remains committed to spending 0.7% of gross national income (GNI) on official development assistance (ODA). The planned resource DEL expenditure for the Department for International Development (DFID) has decreased between March and Summer Budget by approximately £1bn because every year at Main Estimates in July DFID transfers ODA funding to other government departments to help meet the government’s overall international development objectives. This is purely a timing issue. The decrease in DFID’s resource budget for 2015/16 is reflected as increases to other government department’s resource budgets. For example, over £700m of the £1bn transfer from DFID to other departments made at Main Estimates is to FCO for the Conflict, Security and Stabilisation Fund (CSSF). The total planned DEL spend in 2015/16 across Government on ODA did not change between March and Summer budgets. DFID publishes actual ODA spent by departments, of which the latest provisional figures are available for 2014.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Chelsea and Fulham answering member printed Greg Hands question first answered 20/07/2015 16:33:31 answering member 1526 label Biography information for Greg Hands
