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 also accept that the $148 billion a year that leaves Africa because of corruption represents a quarter of the continent’s gross domestic product? I take those figures from the excellent report ““The Other Side of the Coin””, which was prepared under the chairmanship of the hon. Member for City of York (Hugh Bayley). Transparency International, which has campaigned vigorously for many years on corruption in Africa and elsewhere, gave significant help on the report.
