International Development (Reporting and Transparency) Bill

I was going on to say—this is to help the hon. Gentleman—that budget support must be provided in the right circumstances. We analyse these matters extremely carefully and take a considerable time to ensure that the circumstances are right before we go down the route of budget support. As the hon. Gentleman knows, it would be entirely inappropriate—this has not crossed the minds of Ministers—that we should use budget support in countries such as Zimbabwe. That would be in entirely inappropriate circumstances.
