Recommendation 15
15
Require HM Treasury to reallocate all future unspent ODA back to the FCDO.
Conclusion
The FCDO must make formal representation to HM Treasury that any unspent ODA allocated to other Government departments is channelled back through the FCDO to continue its vital humanitarian and development work, and to ensure that overall ODA spending does not fall even further to below 0.3%. This representation must not be on a case-by-case basis, but requesting a commitment that all unspent ODA in future will be reallocated back to the FCDO. (Recommendation, Paragraph 48)
