Answers to IDC Further questions to DFID
BRITISH COUNCIL
SPEND
Talks were held with FCO regarding the British Council
ODA spend for 2010-11, FCO were facing financial pressures in
that respect.
Any possible confusion may be down to language. When
the Secretary of State says that "we would take that over"
it is the financial pressure that he refers to, in that we would
release budget to FCO to remove that pressure from them.
FCO and British Council remain responsible and accountable
for the spend, with no DFID involvement on a day to day basis.
Of course, as the overall "owner" of UK ODA, DFID has
a general interest in ensuring that all reported ODA is well spent.
For future years, the recent Spending Review 2010
settlement has ensured that each department has received the appropriate
amount of ODA budget.
14 December 2010
British Council have stated that their estimated
ODA spend for 2010-11 is around £80 million.
