International Development (Official Development Assistance Target) Bill — New Clause 1 — The Independent Commission for Aid Impact To Evaluate Overseas Development Aid Spending — 5 Dec 2014 at 11:45

The majority of MPs voted to curtail debate and move straight to a vote on if the Independent Commission for Aid Impact should be given the role of evaluating the impact of overseas development aid spending.

MPs were considering the International Development (Official Development Assistance Target) Bill[1]. The Bill provides for a target of at least 0.7% of national income being spent on international aid and includes arrangements for evaluation of that aid spending.

At the time of this vote a motion relating to a proposed new clause was being considered. The clause stated:

  • (1) The Independent Commission for Aid Impact (ICAI) shall have responsibility to carry out independent evaluation of the relevance, impact, value-for-money, efficiency and effectiveness of the [Official Development Assistance] ODA in accordance with the provisions of this Act.
  • (2) The Schedule [The Independent Commission for Aid Impact] makes further provisions about the ICAI.

Clause 5 of the Bill as introduced[2] provided for the establishment of an independent body known as the Independent International Development Office to monitor spending of ODA funds. Following consideration in committee the clause[3] had been amended to state:

  • The Secretary of State must make arrangements for the independent evaluation of the extent to which ODA provided by the United Kingdom represents value for money in relation to the purposes for which it is provided.
  • The Secretary of State must include in each annual report a statement as to how he or she has complied with the duty under subsection

The proposed new clause sought to give The Independent Commission for Aid Impact which was, at the time of the vote, an existing independent public body reporting to Parliament, the role of monitoring and evaluating ODA spending.

This vote was on the motion:

  • That the Question be now put.

In other words that the debate should curtailed and MPs should move straight to a vote on the proposed new clause.
