International Development (Official Development Assistance Target) Bill

I am extremely grateful to my noble friend. Before she sits down, will she address the point that the noble Lord, Reid, made, and which I tried to make, about outcomes? Will she comment on the fact that ODA and “ODA-able” expenditure is of less relevance in promoting development and overseas assistance to eradicate poverty than it was in the past? That is a rather important consideration on which I would value her views.
