Treaty of Lisbon (No. 6)

Proceeding contribution from Shailesh Vara (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 25 February 2008. It occurred during Debates on treaty on Treaty of Lisbon (No. 6).
The Secretary of State speaks of giving aid to less developed countries. Given that the European Union has not been able to sign off its accounts for many years, what confidence can the public have that the European Union can monitor the funds given to other countries to ensure that they go to the people who genuinely need them rather than into dictators' pockets?
