Proceeding contribution from William Cash (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 16 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on International Development (Reporting and Transparency) Bill.
International Development (Reporting and Transparency) Bill
Does my hon. Friend accept that including the notion of corruption as part of the observations to be made in the Secretary of State’s report would take us forward very little and not do the job properly? The African Union itself estimates that $148 billion a year leaves the continent because of corruption. That amount of course dwarfs the aid and debt relief that Africa receives, on which I have been campaigning for many years. Does he agree that it is pointless merely to report on something that the African Union has already condemned?
