The following is an extract from the speech of the Minister of State, Department for International Development during the Global Poverty debate:
“Additional climate finance, as the previous Government made clear, will come from the existing aid budget.”
[Official Report, 1 July 2010, Vol. 512, c. 1103-1104.]
Letter of correction from Mr Alan Duncan:
The Minister of State for International Development made a small error during his closing remarks in the Global Poverty Debate on 1 July 2010.
He said “Additional climate finance, as the previous Government made clear, will come from the existing aid budget”.
He meant to say “UK Fast Start climate finance, as the previous Government made clear, will come from the aid budget.”
