Proceeding contribution from Baroness Falkner of Margravine (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 21 January 2010. It occurred during Private notice question on Counterterrorism: Foreign Office Budget.
Counterterrorism: Foreign Office Budget
The noble Baroness has given us some figures about the potential increase next year; I calculate that it will be about 12 per cent. Is she aware that the current inflation rate within Pakistan and Afghanistan is running somewhere between 20 and 30 per cent? If these funds were to be spent in country, the potential increase that she describes is actually a decrease in the budget.
