Baroness Barker (LD)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 1 December 2025

Debate

AIDS

Contribution

My Lords, the decision of the United States Government to end, almost without notice, funding to many multilateral programmes for HIV and AIDS has destroyed medical and scientific research networks across the world, particularly in Africa, and they cannot be rebuilt. Our Government have agreed to continue to fund the Global Fund, for which we are most grateful, but it is important that we continue to fund Unitaid and Robert Carr, so that emerging technologies for prevention and treatment can be scaled up quickly. Will the Government commit to maintaining that intervention?
