Proceeding contribution from Lord Hurd of Westwell (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 23 October 2007. It occurred during Debate and Debate on select committee report on Middle East and Afghanistan.


Middle East and Afghanistan

My Lords, will the noble Lord say something about the progress in dealing with corruption? There is no point in spending huge sums of money if they dribble away into the wrong hands. I am thinking particularly of oil theft, which appears to go on the whole time, and continuing reports of money going astray.
