Proceeding contribution from Bishop of Chester (Bishops (affiliation)) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 1 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on International Aid Reviews: Conclusions.
International Aid Reviews: Conclusions
My Lords, I press the Minister on an aspect of the Statement that has not featured in the question so far—the point that, "““it is critical that the UK increases its focus on helping countries to build open and responsive political systems””." In the conclusions there is simply a reference to holding ““freer and fairer elections””, but building democracies is about more than just helping countries to hold elections; it is about helping to build institutions in a society that support democracy. Could the Minister say a bit more about that?
