A Bill to repeal the International Development (Official Development Assistance Target) Act 2015.
House of Lords
12 September 2019
This bill would repeal the International Development (Official Development Assistance Target) Act 2015, which set a legal target for UK aid. By repealing it, the statutory requirement to spend a specific share of national income on official development assistance would be removed, giving the government more discretion over future aid levels.
The bill is at its second reading in the House of Lords. If it progresses, it will move to committee stage and further readings before possibly becoming law.
