Proceeding contribution from Tobias Ellwood (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

Once again, Mr. Deputy Speaker, I am grateful for your direction. I shall be delighted to reminisce about my visit to Afghanistan on another occasion. It was an eye-opening experience, and I look forward to taking up those points with the Secretary of State on a future occasion. In conclusion, I strongly support the Bill, and congratulate the right hon. Member for Coatbridge, Chryston and Bellshill on bringing it this far. I hope that it does not encounter any further hurdles as we approach Third Reading. I strongly emphasise the need for co-ordination and accountability for British money spent on international aid.
