The United Kingdom is the only G7 country to legislate on its promise to provide 0.7% gross national income towards helping the world\u2019s poor. In doing so we have given a very strong commitment to stable and predictable aid finance.<\/p>

The Government recognises the importance of providing predictable flows to partner countries. To this end DFID has published indicative forward country budgets in its Annual Report and details of approved projects in every country. It is important that Ministers continually review where, how and how much we spend, to ensure that aid is being used to maximum effect in reducing poverty in the national interest, and that our work responds to changing global challenges and volatile country situations.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4137", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Rory Stewart"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Penrith and The Border"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Rory Stewart"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2016-12-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2016-12-14T17:16:37.997Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "20"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "International Development"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "International Development"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2016-12-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Overseas Aid"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how her Department ensures that aid finance is predictable and reliable for recipient countries.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/312", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Caroline Spelman"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Meriden"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Dame Caroline Spelman"} ], "uin" : "56339"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/652744", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for International Development"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/652744/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

DFID policy is for employees always to use the most efficient and economic means of travel for duty visits. All journeys of up to 5 hours must be in economy/standard class. Journeys of over 5 hours must also be in economy/standard class unless there is legitimate business approval provided in advance for a higher standard of travel.<\/p>

The information provided represents the travel bookings made through our contracted travel provider. Travel booked locally is not included. The non-standard travel costs may be overstated due to credits (e.g. from cancellations) having the incorrect class of travel applied.<\/p>

DFID has no unpaid internships. The Civil Service has been running the Summer Diversity Internship Programme (SDIP) for 15 years. This is a paid, two months programme specifically for BAME, lower socio-economic and those from disabled backgrounds. It is targeted at penultimate/final year undergraduates and is a major plank of the Civil Service early talent diversity strategy. DFID has participated in this scheme for the last 3 years.
