Caroline Voaden

Liberal Democrat — South Devon

Speaking in the House of Commons on 5 November 2025

Debate

Conflict in Sudan

Contribution

Given the horrendous, apocalyptic scenes we are seeing in Sudan, and the fact that 25 million people are now estimated to be in acute hunger, does the Minister still think it was right for the Government to cut our overseas development aid budget? Can he commit to the House that the Government will increase it back to 0.5% of national income and use that funding to fund the UK’s response in Sudan, which is so desperately needed?
