International Development (Reporting and Transparency) Bill

I am sure that we could do that, but how much better it would be if the debate took place automatically. Of course I appreciate that other Departments produce annual reports, but this is a specific annual report. The Bill specifies key goals and targets. Let us not just have the Government’s version; let us bring the Minister to the Dispatch Box and hold him to account. I am very disappointed by the Minister’s response, and I am afraid that I will press the new clause to a vote. Question put, That the clause be read a Second time:— The House divided: Ayes 8, Noes 93.
