Proceeding contribution from Baroness Northover (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 11 June 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on G8: 2007 Summit.

G8: 2007 Summit

My Lords, following on from the question asked by the noble Lord, Lord Fowler, surely the commitment has been halved. Examination of the details shows that universal access by 2010 would have included 10 million to 16 million people. The communiqué talks about 5 million. Even then,it has no concrete timetables, proposals or commitments to get to that point. Surely, therefore, the noble Lord is right that there has been a serious falling-away from what was promised at Gleneagles, rather than a further commitment to it.
