To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what outcomes she expects from her Department's funding through the Manusher Jonno Foundation in Bangladesh.

Letter of correction from Alan Duncan:

An error has been identified in the written answer given to the hon. Member for St Albans (Mrs Main) on 22 October 2012.

The full answer given was as follows:

[Mr Duncan]

By 2013, the Rights and Governance Challenge Fund, implemented by the Manusher Jonno Foundation, is expected to have enabled 253,000 poor and vulnerable people to benefit from social safety net programmes, 11,700 children to be withdrawn from hazardous work, and 121,000 workers in garments and shrimp industries to be paid on time and have improved working conditions. In 2011 alone, the programme supported 5,755 women to receive government land that is meant to be allocated to poor people, and 7,000 boys and girls to obtain stipends from the government to attend school.

The correct answer should have been:

Defence Industrial Base (Scotland)

The following is the answer given by the Under-Secretary of State for Defence, the hon. Member for Ludlow (Mr Dunne), to a question from the hon. Member for Moray (Angus Robertson) during Defence Question Time on 14 January 2013.

[Angus Robertson (Moray) (SNP)]

Last week, the UK Government published a paper about Faslane, which was widely reported together with incorrect job projections. Will the Minister dissociate the UK Government and the Better Together campaign from double counting and fabrication on such a serious issue?

[Mr Dunne]

The hon. Gentleman has clearly been reading information that is simply not emerging from the Ministry of Defence. The base at Faslane is the largest employment site in Scotland, with some 6,700 military and civilian jobs projected to increase by around 8,200 by 2022 as the Royal Navy moves all its submarines there. Those are the numbers.
