Acknowledged
We recognise the importance of keeping Parliament updated on our activities, and delivering on our transparency commitments. In addition to the detailed Written Ministerial Statement (WMS) laid by Lord Ahmad on 15 December, a second WMS published [w/b 25 April] provides full details of our disbursement of £286 million to partners in financial year 2021/22. This will supplement the timely publication of financial disbursements on Development Tracker (although currently without full partner details for security reasons, as mentioned in the report). Contributions by the UK to the UN Humanitarian Response Plan and any UN Flash Appeals can also be tracked on the UN’s Financial Tracking System website.
