Oral answer to question provided on Wednesday, 7 December 2011 in the House of Commons, by Andrew Mitchell (Conservative), Department for International Development.


Topical Questions

Answer

My hon. Friend again identifies the difficulties of operating in Malawi when Britain has stopped giving direct budget support. However, we are finding other mechanisms, particularly to address food security issues, and in the last 10 days we have approved additional funding for fertiliser to ensure that the next harvest has the best possible chance of succeeding.

This is an answer to the Topical question asked on Wednesday, 7 December 2011 by Jesse Norman (Conservative).

Question
My right hon. Friend will be aware of the excellent work done in Africa by Concern Universal, which is based in Hereford. Can he outline the measures taken to improve resilience against humanitarian disaster in Malawi?
