Proceeding contribution from David Miliband (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 January 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Pakistan and Kenya.
Pakistan and Kenya
The short answer to the hon. Gentleman is yes. He will know from what my colleague the Secretary of State for International Development and I have said that we raise both publicly and privately the fact that less than 2 per cent. of national income is spent on education. Education is at the centre of DFID's programme in Pakistan, and I discussed the matter last July when I was in Pakistan. It is absolutely at the heart of the development of a functioning society—development that that country will need.
