United Nations: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether his Department plans to increase funding to the (a) United Nations and (b) its agencies.
Answered by Stephen Doughty
The UK is a steadfast supporter of the UN. The UK's level of funding to the UN Regular Budget is dictated by the UN's Scales of Assessment process and is based on GDP and population size. For 2025, the UK's obligatory share of the Regular Budget is 3.991% of the total UN Regular Budget. UK voluntary funding to the UN is determined on a case-by-case basis. All future UK funding to UN agencies is subject to the current Spending Review process.
