Proceeding contribution from Lord Sarwar (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 14 July 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Future of CDC.

Future of CDC

Does my hon. Friend recall the conversation that the Committee had with representatives of the Indian Government, who said that they would not see direct private investments by the Department for International Development as aid assistance? They recommended that DFID create a private sector wing, or arm, of its organisation to make those investments. In this case, it could be argued that that wing is CDC. If that 50% of funding does not go through CDC, does that not highlight the failures of CDC?
