Asked by Wendy Morton

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the Written Ministerial Statement of 19 March 2026 (HCWS1425), what explains the increase in Human Development spending from £433 million in 2026-27 to £1,241 mil

Answer

Answered by Chris Elmore, 28 May 2026

This increase is largely attributable to the profile of multilateral payments to the Global Fund and Gavi. For further details, I refer the Hon Member to Table 2 and Footnote 6 of the document accompanying the statement mentioned in her question.
