Monica Harding

Liberal Democrat — Esher and Walton

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 October 2024

Debate

Gaza and Lebanon

Contribution

The humanitarian crisis in the middle east is another example of how the previous Government’s cuts to the aid budget have left us responding to crises with one hand tied behind our back. Since 2019, official development assistance spending in Lebanon has fallen from over £200 million to just £7 million. Will the Minister look at replenishing that fund?
