To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of the financial situation of the British Council.
Hamish Falconer
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
In 2024/25, the FCDO will provide the British Council with £162.5 million Grant-in-Aid funding. The British Council is projected to generate £885 million from other sources over the same period, according to its Corporate Plan 2024-25. This self-generated income is largely derived from the British Council's teaching and exams businesses.
The Government is committed to a successful British Council that is financially stable. Our funding to the British Council underlines our support.
