Part of Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office – in the House of Commons at on 2 March 2021.

We have had to make the difficult decision on the 0.7%, and the allocations will be published in due course, but we have been very clear that public health is the No.1 priority to be safeguarded across the piece.
