answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/02/2020 answer text <p>As a Member State, the UK spent approximately 10% of our Official Development Assistance (ODA) through the EU each year. Going forward we will be able to make our own decisions about where, when and how we invest that money. The UK will continue to play a leading role in tackling global development challenges in support of the national interest.</p><p>Under the Withdrawal Agreement the UK will honour its share of commitments made to the EU budget and off-budget funds during the period of our membership. For DFID, this means that we will meet our commitments to EU development programmes approved by 31 December 2020 until their closure. As these are multi-year programmes, this will result in a declining spending tail of ODA contributions that we expect to run until 2027.</p><p>Ministers will take decisions on reallocating ODA funding through normal departmental processes and DFID’s bid to the Spending Review, in line with the conclusions of the Integrated Review.</p> answering member constituency Aldridge-Brownhills answering member printed Wendy Morton question first answered 28/02/2020 14:57:34 answering member 4358 label Biography information for Wendy Morton

tabling member printed	Lord Taylor of Warwick
uin	HL7917
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/05/2018 answer text <p>We believe it makes sense for the UK and EU, as leading global donors, to continue working together to alleviate poverty and to tackle shared global challenges. The UK is open to pooling resources with the EU, either through EU instruments or a bespoke mechanism, drawing on collective expertise to tackle specific global challenges and improve our combined impact. We have identified some specific thematic areas where we think a UK-EU strategic partnership would be in our mutual interest, such as humanitarian aid, migration and peace and security. In return for any UK participation (or funds) we would expect that the UK have an appropriate governance role at the strategic and operational level, and eligibility for UK entities to implement relevant programmes.</p><p> </p><p>It is also important to remember that the vast majority of the UK Development work is not done via the EU. We remain committed to spending 0.7% of GNI on development by working through other multilateral and bilateral delivery channels, and achieving the Global Goals by 2030. Post EU Exit we will be able to better target UK aid to the poorest people in the world and in the best interest of UK taxpayers; and improve on the EU’s trade offer for developing countries</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 21/05/2018 16:46:53 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
