The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 28 January 2025 to Question 24872 on Nutrition for Growth Summit, whether he has made an assessment of the potential merits of making an (a) financial and (b) policy announcement from the UK at the Nutrition for Growth summit.

Answered by Anneliese Dodds

The UK remains committed to meeting its existing Nutrition for Growth (N4G) financial commitment of spending £1.5 billion from 2022 to 2030 on nutrition objectives. For the 2025 Nutrition for Growth summit, the UK will champion the integration of improved nutrition outcomes in other sectors, including health, agriculture, humanitarian, and climate, and is considering further policy commitments. On a further financial commitment, Ministers will consider Official Development Assistance (ODA) allocations for future years as part of the Spending Review, which will conclude in the summer.
