Summary of a randomly selected bill, powered by AnyModel.Official Development Assistance Target (Repeal) Bill [HL]
Current Stage: 2nd reading
Last updated: 12/09/2019
Overview
This bill, the Official Development Assistance Target (Repeal) Act 2018, seeks to revoke the International Development (Official Development Assistance Target) Act 2015. This effectively removes the legally binding target for the UK government to spend 0.7% of gross national income on official development assistance.
Description
The core function of this bill is to repeal the 2015 Act, which established a 0.7% gross national income (GNI) target for Official Development Assistance (ODA). The bill achieves this through a single clause repealing the 2015 Act in its entirety. The bill has a simple structure, extending to the whole of the UK and coming into force immediately upon being passed.
Government Spending
The repeal of the 0.7% GNI target for ODA removes a legally binding commitment on government spending. This allows the government flexibility in allocating resources for development aid. Exact figures on future spending are not specified in the bill itself but imply potential reduction in the budget allocated to ODA.
Groups Affected
- International Development Organizations: May experience reduced funding from the UK government.
- Developing Countries: Could see a decrease in UK aid, potentially impacting development projects and programs.
- UK-based NGOs working internationally: May face funding cuts impacting their operations and ability to deliver aid.
- UK taxpayers: May see a change in the amount of their taxes allocated to foreign aid.
