Question to Andrew Mitchell on International Development

John Glen (Salisbury) (Con): What evidence can the Secretary of State give that our Government's global leadership in increasing aid spending is encouraging other nations to adopt similar increases?

Mr Andrew Mitchell (Secretary of State for International Development): Over the last year there has been an increase in many countries' support for development, which is quite right and in accordance with the commitments that they have given. Britain has been in the lead in that regard. All our spending is in our national interest, and large amounts of it support our security, and indeed our future prosperity.
