Part of AIDS – in the House of Commons at 11:30 am on 9 November 2005.
The hon. Gentleman will know of the concern of the Prime Minister and the rest of the Government about the lack of sufficient progress towards the millennium development goals, which was why we made Africa a key issue on the agendas of our G8 and EU presidencies this year. I am sure that he would want to pay tribute to the Prime Minister for his success in persuading the President of the United States to announce a doubling of aid to Africa between now and 2010.
