Proceeding contribution from Lord Stoddart of Swindon (Independent Labour) in the House of Lords on Friday, 8 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union (Implications of Withdrawal) Bill [HL].


European Union (Implications of Withdrawal) Bill [HL]

My Lords, I am most obliged to the noble Lord for giving way. He mentioned aid, and he rightly claimed that it is well administered in this country. Is it not a fact that one-third of development aid is administered through the European Union? That is what people have been talking about; that money that could be fully used in Africa and other places is not being fully used because of the administrative differences—if I can put it that way—in the European Union?
