GLOBAL AIDS TARGETS

That this House strongly welcomes the target to provide universal access to anti-retroviral drugs for HIV/AIDS sufferers by 2010 as an invaluable contribution to economic growth and poverty reduction in the world's poorest countries; notes that the UK Department for International Development is co-chairing the UN steering group with responsibility for the 2010 target; believes that any strategy to promote the availability of HIV/AIDS treatment drugs must go together with an increased emphasis on preventing the spread of the disease; and strongly urges the Government to secure the agreement of the international community for interim targets to be put in place and published which commit the UK and other G8 nations to concrete and measurable milestones between now and 2010 to ensure that the universal access target is met.
