How much funding has been transferred from the aid budget to the defence budget.

Reply

In February this year, the Prime Minister announced that NATO qualifying defence spending will increase to 2.5% GDP by 2027-28. It will be fully funded by reducing Official Development Assistance (ODA) from 0.5% to 0.3% GNI by the same year. Further details of cash terms savings from reducing ODA can be found in the Spring Statement 2025 document here: CP1298 – Spring Statement 2025 Individual departmental budgets will be confirmed at the conclusion of the spending review on 11 June.
