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

My hon. Friend makes an excellent point. In terms of coherence, particularly across Government Departments, the Bill would help us to get much nearer to what she is seeking to achieve. Clause 7 deals with the effectiveness of bilateral aid and total overseas development assistance. It sets out benchmarks against which the effectiveness of aid can be measured, including the impact on HIV/AIDS, child mortality, trading opportunities and, crucially, good governance.
