Clause 7 - Terms on which assistance is provided
International Development Bill
3:30 pm
Mrs Cheryl Gillan (Chesham and Amersham, Conservative)
Clause 7 sets out the terms on which the Secretary of State may provide assistance, and states that Treasury consent is required for all kinds of financial assistance other than a grant. As it is the main financial clause of the Bill, it is apposite to raise issues concerning bribery and to interrogate the Minister.
