Overseas Development Aid: Motion.
The critical issues and principles that govern the development of a country are what we have to address. We have to ensure our aid is well spent. That is the task that faces the Minister of State. We must ensure we put poverty alleviation first, that we address people's basic needs and that we work in partnership with developing countries. We must work in partnership to educate and train people in how they can sustain themselves. We must target children to ensure the countries concerned are safeguarded in the future.
