The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 6 May 2025 to Question 48939 on Land Mines, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of funding provision for de-mining for achieving the UK’s objectives in this policy area following the completion of the Spending Review.

Answered by Stephen Doughty

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office's final 2025/26 Official Development Assistance (ODA) programme allocations will be published in the Annual Report & Accounts in July. Over the coming months, we will work through detailed decisions on how the ODA budget will be used in future years, informed by internal and external consultation and impact assessments, ahead of publishing indicative multi-year allocations in the autumn. We will be taking a rigorous approach to ensure all ODA delivers value for money.
