That the Parliament recognises that the UK asylum costs, which, it considers, are to be welcomed, are reportedly set to take up one fifth of the UK Government’s reduced aid budget; believes that this leaves as little as 0.3% of gross national income for actual international development; recognises that the Independent Commission for Aid Impact (ICAI) found that this rise in domestic spending, coupled with reductions to the aid budget since 2020, has significantly impacted traditional aid programmes; believes that this affects parts of Africa the most; notes reports that funding going directly to developing countries has fallen from £5.9 billion in 2019, 57% of bilateral aid, to £2.7 billion in 2023, 27% of bilateral aid, with allocations to individual country partners reduced significantly; further notes reports that the UK asylum system costs are expected to take up £2.2 billion of total UK Overseas Development Aid (ODA) funding for 2026-27; considers that both streams are important and that each should be fully and properly funded; recognises what it sees as the positive desire to eliminate the use of hotels for housing asylum seekers while regretting that the current asylum is reportedly fraught with delay and indecision; believes that the drop from 0.5% to 0.3% in the aid budget was at least partly taken to fund an increase in defence spending to 2.5%; recognises these changes in the ODA and related budgets, and urges the UK Government to ensure that maximum ODA funding actually goes overseas.
