UN aid targets and Building on Reality
Mitchell sought a plan and timetable for meeting UN Third World aid targets. The Minister could not commit without consulting Government but would raise it; he said Building on Reality had not been shelved.
Will the Minister give the House an undertaking that, notwithstanding anything in Building on Reality he will introduce a plan and time scale for the introduction of UN target achievements for Third World aid as we are sadly lagging behind in this respect?
Comment on this
I could not give such an undertaking to the House, I would have to consult with the Government and I will certainly bring it to their attention.
