Mr. Niall Burgess:
It is all incorporated. ODA is calculated as funding from multiple sources, provided it is classified as development assistance by the OECD. It includes our bilateral aid programme, humanitarian assistance, the money we use to fund the EDF through EU and UN channels and money from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the Department of Finance through development bank funding mechanisms for the World Food Programme.
