The Government believes that Air Passenger Duty fulfils effectively the same function as a Frequent Flier Levy as the nature of the tax is that those who fly more and further pay more than those who do not.

The Official Development Assistance rules, governed by the OECD Development Assistance Committee, state that spending by all departments on eligible activities can be counted towards UK Official Development Assistance.

The Department for International Development, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, HM Treasury, the Department of Health, the Home Office, the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, the Department for Education, The Department of Work and Pensions, the Department for Transport, The Department for Culture, Media and Sport, the Ministry of Defence, HM Revenue and Customs and the Office of National Statistics. The Scottish Government and Welsh Government also undertake activity for which expenditure is counted as UK Official Development Assistance.<\/p>

Based on Spending Review 2015 assumptions, departments other than the Department for International Development will spend £2.51 billion on Official Development Assistance.
