Proceeding contribution from Richard Foord (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 4 November 2025. It occurred during Backbench debate on Official Development Assistance Reductions.
Official Development Assistance Reductions
My hon. Friend is making a fantastic speech. This weekend, the Government announced £5 million for Sudan and £6 million for Gaza. By contrast, the Government are spending £2.2 billion of ODA on hotels to house asylum seekers in this country. Does my hon. Friend share my view that the money would be better spent on preventing conflict and keeping people safe in their own regions?
