answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/09/2019 answer text <p>DFID has not received any additional resources to support learning on ODA across Government in the last 12 months. DFID’s settlement in the 2019 spending review includes additional resources for the 2020/21 financial year to provide more support for other departments to build their capability to spend ODA more effectively. This will allow DFID to boost our support to other departments spending UK aid, further ensuring that the UK’s ODA spend continues to deliver value for money for British taxpayers.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 30/09/2019 15:43:40 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2018 answer text <p>The information required to answer this question is not held centrally, and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost. Whilst it is safe to say that DFID Staff Members currently loaned to FCO have joint reporting responsibilities between DFID and FCO due to the nature of those relationships, we are unable to provide further information on staff more broadly. Each DFID Employee has one primary reporting line within DFID and it is information about those reporting relationships which is captured centrally. Some staff may have a secondary reporting line in to FCO but such relationships are managed at a local level and, as such, to draw that information from each individual department within DFID would involve disproportionate costs.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 06/12/2018 17:12:58 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
