Aid Consultants

Asked whether the PM was concerned about the level of money going to aid consultants, the PMS said that the Government had completely overhauled its aid programme. Over the last two years there had been a thorough review of all programmes to ensure that money was going where it was most needed. We had made aid spending more transparent than ever before and a watchdog had been set up to ensure the money we spend gets results.

Asked whether the International Development Secretary was asked to look at spending on aid consultants when she was appointed, the PMS said that one of her many responsibilities was to ensure we were spending aid money effectively.
