Official Development Assistance Debate

Today, I spoke in Edward Morello MP’s debate titled ‘Planned reductions in Official Development Assistance on international development.’ As the Chair of the APPG for Global Education, I will continue to champion the transformative power of ODA for the education of children worldwide.

We must continue to fund the life-changing work carried out by the Global Partnership for Education and Education Cannot Wait, along with many more fantastic organisations.

I look forward to seeing the Government restore spending 0.7% of GNI on ODA as soon as the economy allows.

We cannot overlook the power of education. Listen to my speech below.
