answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/02/2019 answer text <p>Britain is a development superpower with world class development organisations delivering aid to those who need it most. DFID continues regularly to consult our stakeholders on the impact of the UK’s exit from the EU, including on eligibility for EU funding. The Withdrawal Agreement confirms the entitlement of UK organisations to participate in current EU programmes for their duration. Under a future partnership, any UK financial contribution to EU programmes would require eligibility for UK entities to bid for and implement relevant programmes. We remain committed to spending 0.7% of our national income on development assistance, and to achieving the UN’s Global Goals and ending extreme poverty by 2030.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 06/02/2019 17:34:16 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
