Debate

Imran Khan: Imprisonment

Contribution

It is important—and we maintain this position for all those held in prison—that people get access to healthcare and to their families. We have made that case, because that is consistent with the position of this Government and the previous one, and we will continue to do so. The noble Lord asks about our development spending. As he knows, we made a decision around this time last year to cut our development spending by around 40%, and we will be making further announcements shortly about the detail of that—what will be happening in which countries, and what it will be spent on.
