Proceeding contribution from Boris Johnson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 July 2021. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Afghanistan.
Afghanistan
This country remains, as I have just told the House, one of the biggest bilateral donors of aid to Afghanistan in the world. The people of this country should take great pride in that. A statistic I did not mention earlier, to get back to the hon. Lady’s earlier point, is that, partly thanks to the work of UK aid and the whole NATO mission, mortality for women and children in Afghanistan has fallen faster than in any other low-income country.
