Proceeding contribution from Andrew Mitchell (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Aid Reviews.


Aid Reviews

My hon. Friend makes an extremely good point. India presents a paradox, because although it has the programmes to which he refers, there are also more poor people in India than in the whole of sub-Saharan Africa. Our programme is in transition: we are shifting its focus on to only three of the poorest states in India, and over the next four years up to half the programme will be spent on pro-poor private sector investment for development. We will not be there for ever, but now is not the time to end this programme.
