To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to the Global Fund, for what reason the Government did not make a pledge at the Seventh Replenishment event which took place on 19 September 2022; and whether the Government plans to make such a pledge.

The UK is proud to be the Global Fund's third largest donor historically, investing over £4.4 billion since 2002. I [Minister Ford] spoke at the pledging event about the UK's continued strong commitment to the Global Fund and our intention to make a pledge in the coming weeks. We will make a Written Ministerial Statement to Parliament before we make an announcement.
