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

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2018 answer text <p>Through our statutory commitment to spend 0.7% of GNI on aid and the way that we spend money to reduce poverty, we promote UK values and influence in the world. We are, for example, tackling the drivers of instability and extremism, stopping infectious disease from reaching our shores, and building prosperity in our trading partners of the future. All UK aid is in the national interest.</p><p> </p><p>Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) must be spent in compliance with the eligibility criteria set out by the Development Assistance Committee (DAC). DFID strives to ensure that each project on which we spend British taxpayers’ money contributes both to reducing poverty in developing countries and to the UK national interest, which is defined as a combination of health, security, prosperity and influence. DFID officials are expected to demonstrate the benefit to the UK when seeking approval for new programmes.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 04/12/2018 17:40:08 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2018 answer text <p>The Government agrees or partially agrees with many of the recommendations that were made within the Committee’s report. We are committed to maximising impact from the aid budget and using external scrutiny to improve how we spend aid. In some areas, the Government is already implementing the Committee’s recommendations, such as influencing the DAC to ensure that a reverse graduation mechanism is introduced as soon as possible and delivering humanitarian aid irrespective of country income status. However, a number of the recommendations run counter to established spending allocation and accountability structures, or propose changes that would make it difficult to deliver certain objectives within the UK Aid Strategy.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 23/10/2018 14:13:26 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
