Proceeding contribution from Andrew Mitchell (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 15 June 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Humanitarian Emergency Responses.

Humanitarian Emergency Responses

My hon. Friend is right about the absolute priority that the Government place on supporting such smaller charities. Many people from both sides of the House will have seen them doing brilliant work overseas. There are a number of mechanisms through which they are supported. There is, of course, the global poverty action fund, which will have a fresh round for NGOs and charities in a month or two. ShelterBox, which my hon. Friend mentioned, will be known to many Members. It does a brilliant job and we support it strongly.
