West Africa

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what steps the Government is taking to encourage other developed nations to support efforts to tackle the Ebola virus in West Africa.

Answer

The British Government is playing a leading role in galvanising international support to tackle Ebola. The Defeating Ebola conference I co-hosted on 2 October generated over £100 million of support, and the Prime Minister’s call to European leaders secured a €1 billion commitment. We will continue to push international partners to do more.
