Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 June 2026

Debate

Official Development Assistance: Bilateral Allocations

Contribution

My Lords, I appreciate the challenge the Minister is facing with the cuts, and I agree with my noble friend about the protection of certain ring-fenced things, including the priority on the WPS agenda. Will the Minister leverage that more extensively, working together with colleagues in the Ministry of Defence? I seek her reassurance that 12 years of quality education for every girl in the world and of course—this is personal for me—preventing sexual violence in conflict remain key priorities for the Government.
