Proceeding contribution from Baroness Verma (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 1 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on International Aid Reviews: Conclusions.


International Aid Reviews: Conclusions

I thank my noble friend for her very warm words. I also pay tribute to UNICEF and many of the great NGOs that do incredible work often in very difficult circumstances. She raised some points about countries from which DfID money was withdrawn. We are going continuously to countries that will need our assistance. However, the infrastructure must be in place to be able to deliver it on the ground. If it is not, it is often difficult. I very much take on board what my noble friend has said and take it back to the department for the Secretary of State.
