Proceeding contribution from John Bercow (Conservative) 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 hon. Lady will have to blame the hon. Member for Normanton (Ed Balls) for prompting this intervention, but he made a very important point. Does she agree that in making people aware in our constituencies of the scale of what is being done, we are also reminding them of the importance of their ratcheting up their contributions? Would not it be helpful if, in as many cases as possible, voluntary giving could be devoted to specific and identifiable projects, in which one could be sure that the intended beneficiaries are the beneficiaries and that money is not lost unnecessarily?
