Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 January 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka
Yes I do. The hon. Gentleman is quite right, and the Under-Secretary of State for International Development might be able to help us on that matter. There is now independent confirmation that large amounts of the aid given have not gone where they were intended to go. That is a tragedy, given the absolute destruction caused in those areas. It must be right for there to be further investigation, conducted independently of the Sri Lankan Government, into where that money has gone, and for us to seek to liberate it to rebuild those communities. The hon. Gentleman is right about that.
