Defence written question – answered at on 25 April 2013.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how much of his Department's contribution to the Conflict Pool was claimed against the UK's Official Development Aid target in the latest period for which figures are available.
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) makes no financial contribution to the Conflict Pool. The MOD does, however, have access to Conflict Pool funds. The latest available Official Development Assistance figures are for 2011. In 2011, the MOD reported that approximately £2 million was spent on Defence-led Conflict Pool activities which meet the definition of Official Development Assistance (ODA). Details of 2012 expenditure will be published in Statistics on International Development in the autumn.
