International Development (Reporting and Transparency) Bill

I accept that people are not aware of the scale of what is being done, but, as we have seen at demonstrations, a substantial number of people know a good deal about the matter, and I have received many letters urging me to support my right hon. Friend’s Bill. My right hon. Friend has reminded us that those issues were once a backwater, whereas now they resonate in all our constituencies, and I hope that he and I are here to experience not only the day when the Bill is enacted, but the day when we pass the Finance Bill to provide the resources to meet the 0.7 per cent. target.
