Proceeding contribution from Tom Clarke (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 20 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on International Development (Reporting and Transparency) Bill.


International Development (Reporting and Transparency) Bill

The great value of the annual report that will be required if the Bill is approved is that it would give the House the opportunity to ask that sort of question, to seek effectiveness and to hold the Executive to account, and I trust that the hon. Gentleman will welcome that opportunity. My comments on our agreement at the millennium summit in 2000 underlines the UK’s commitment to that target, which will double our current spending on aid.
