Sammy Wilson

Democratic Unionist Party — East Antrim

Speaking in the House of Commons on 23 July 2024

Debate

Immigration and Home Affairs

Contribution

The right hon. Gentleman makes a powerful point, but does he accept that much of that aid went to propping up corrupt regimes, which denied people the rights that we have in this country and was one of the things that drove immigration in this country? If aid is misspent or used to prop up regimes, it is detrimental, not helpful.
