Proceeding contribution from Tom Clarke (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 October 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Pre-Budget Report and Comprehensive Spending Review.

Pre-Budget Report and Comprehensive Spending Review

Rather disturbingly, neither Opposition Front-Bench spokesman sought to match the Chancellor's excellent achievements, or his projections on overseas aid to help some of the world's poorest people in the world's poorest countries. Does the Chancellor agree that when the Government achieve the figure of 0.7 per cent. of gross national income by 2014—as I believe they will—it will be consistent with our millennium development goals, and that when the Government achieve it, as some Scandinavian countries already have, it will not be beyond their horizons to build even on that?
