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

I think my hon. Friend is referring to a particular incident involving a Scottish charity. I have looked at that incident in detail, and I am happy that what he says about it is not actually correct. However, it is extremely important that there should be really good co-ordination. We should not have the situation that we saw all too frequently in Haiti, which was a huge number of people heading towards a disaster target without the co-ordination to ensure that they could be effective on the ground.
