both houses of parliament at 11pm tonight, but first we have puestions | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
of the Secretary of State for International Development, Justine | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Greening. Order, order. Questions to the | :00:00. | :00:26. | |
Secretary of State for International Development. Question number one. | :00:27. | :00:35. | |
With permission, I'll answer question one and two togethdr. Our | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
country has ambitions for the world humanitarian summit, which comes at | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
a critical time, given their more displaced people globally now that | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
at any time during the Second World War. We're working with partners, | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
including UN agencies, governments and the private sector to ensure the | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
summit delivers transformathve change crisis response. Child | :00:59. | :01:06. | |
protection has been desperately underfunded in global human carrying | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
adverts. One in ten children living convicted areas, and Unicef wants 3 | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
million children are caught up in emergencies and need help. Can the | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
Minister tellers, will the Prime Minister be part of the UK | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
delegation, and will he comlit to making child protection one of the | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
key priorities at the summit? We haven't finalised the UK delegation, | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
but I can assure this issue has been at the core of all of our rdsponses, | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
not least of course most recently in Syria, and it was the UK whhch work | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
with Unicef to put in place so-called safe zones in manx of the | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
refugee camps to enable children to be rebated with their familhes if | :01:48. | :01:56. | |
they became lost. Can I ask the Minister what discussions she | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
expects to take place at thd summit on support for those fleeing | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
violence and persecution? Whll she support efforts at the summht to | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
ensure lower and middle-income countries hosting refugees `nd | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
displaced people have long-term predictable financing, that refugees | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
themselves will have the right to work and contribute to this society | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
and economy they moved to? Of course he raises a good question, we have a | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
conference in London tomorrow which is looking at this issue of | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
respecting the fact refugees are on average a refuge either 17 xears so | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
we need to go beyond the tr`ditional life-saving support to meet these | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
broader need, not just jobs, but getting schools into... Children | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
into schools, said the Syri` conference is a key moment, not just | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
to respond to that crisis, but a more broadly sure a new moddl of | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
responding to humanitarian crises around the world, which I hope we | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
can take forward at the sumlit. Given that many humanitarian crisis | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
caused by conflict, will my right honourable friend make sure the UK | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
delegation is pressing the Tnited Nations at this summit to m`ke sure | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
it is more effective in terls of conflict resolution and prevention, | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
does solving a lot of the Proms many women and children are facing in our | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
world? -- problems. I had the privilege of sharing the UN council | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
last October and the issue we talked about was the need for the | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
international community and the council to look before conflict hits | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
and to look at fragile countries, and to have better if you w`nt | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
systems, web on human rights or any other areas, back in high l`dy areas | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
we need to do work in to kedp peace and stability, rather than the costs | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
of lead after effects. What work is she doing to ensure aid is joined up | :04:00. | :04:09. | |
with longer-term development aid? The world humanitarian summht is a | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
key opportunity for us to knit these agendas together clearly. At the | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
moment the system, I describe it as being a hospital that only has an | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
A Department, we need to be thinking ahead about how we can not | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
only deal with the day-to-d`y challenges that refugees and people | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
face, but start already building in the long-term solution so they can | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
get their lives back on track, not by this issues of jobs in | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
particular, children in schools helping those communities who host | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
those refugees to cope is so important. Where is Mr Hendry? The | :04:46. | :04:53. | |
fellow has just asked a question and has gone out of the chamber. We | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
still have exchanges on that question. I know he is new, but he | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
must learn. He must not ask a question and then leave. Thdre are | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
continuing exchanges upon that matter, and am sure he is at least | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
interested in the opinions of others as he is in his own opinions. Quite | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
extraordinary behaviour. Cotld I press the Secretary of Statd to | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
advocates a presumption of the Nile of arms exporter countries of | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
concern as a UK innovation that could help save lives around the | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
world's? We have some of thd strictest arms ripped jeans in the | :05:34. | :05:43. | |
world, -- regimes. The leaddrship on my own department is to instre that | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
when crisis does head, the TK plays a leading role and making stre | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
people who are factored... @ffected have long-term support they need. | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
This is important... A high,level panel looking at these issuds, and | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
they made the point that 124 million people in the world who livd to | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
support. Garcia: other country, but they don't have a head of state at | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
the UN speaking up for them. That is why the rest of us need to work as | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
hard as you can to make surd the needs are met. The Secretarx of | :06:19. | :06:26. | |
State will be aware that thd biggest crisis facing us is the reftgee | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
crisis. The house respects the government has done with thd Syria | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
conference and investing in the camps. What about those reftgees, | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
particular child refugees, who are not in the comes question what we | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
appeared this week that for the first time since the crisis began, | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
women and children make up the majority of refugees travelling to | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
Greece. How many child refugees who were not in the camps is thd | :06:52. | :06:59. | |
government proposing to takd? On the broader issue, she will know the UK | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
set up with Unicef the no lost generation initiative which has | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
enabled now half of the children affected by the Syrian crishs to be | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
able to be in school, and more broadly on the relocation scheme we | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
put in place, which is the right way to help vulnerable refugees | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
relocates out of the region if they need to, it is working with the | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
agencies to identify them as runnable people. We are talking with | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
them about how that can be dxtended to unaccompanied children, but the | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
good news is that because of the hard work of agencies like Tnicef, | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
funded by the UK, over 85% of children who do arrive in countries | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
like Jordan and Lebanon unaccompanied are able to fhnally | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
meet up for their families `nd get reunited again. | :07:45. | :07:53. | |
Mr Speaker, two thirds of Africa does not have access to electricity. | :07:54. | :08:01. | |
And we want to play a leading role in changing that, accelerathng the | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
market for transformative household solar systems and so contribute to | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
the global goal of universal access by 2020. Would the Minister outlined | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
what opportunity he sees for British entrepreneurs and companies to help | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
his apartment achieved his `mbition of ending fuel poverty in Africa? | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
One of the things we are excited about is some of the most | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
effectively the ship we are seeing on the continent by companids who | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
are British or said about British people or backed by bridges, | :08:36. | :08:44. | |
including ours. And the resdarch into initiatives will creatd | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
opportunities for British companies to be involved in that rese`rch Can | :08:50. | :08:57. | |
the Minister confirm if discussions are taking place with Afric`n | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
nations states to ensure solar energy becomes a high priorhty in | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
those states and we can help and give assistance to very much needed | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
energy supplies to the residents of those nation states? I can confirm | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
that, by the number of bilateral meetings with African ministers and | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
indeed have signed of seven countries to the campaign, which is | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
all about accelerating access their citizens have these subsystdms that, | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
I have seen this, can transform prospects of families. It is a high | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
priority for them and us. C`n I ask the Minister to broaden his | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
horizons? We have so much expertise in this country, in univershties, in | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
big energy companies, and a lot of social enterprises that know about | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
this stuff bring them together, give us the opportunity to help people in | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
Africa to set up themselves. I'm with him, as are many things. There | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
is a huge amount of expertise in this country we can and shotld and | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
want to connect to leaders hn African countries, who know that | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
making it easier for their citizens to access energy is fundamental It | :10:14. | :10:23. | |
is a top priority. The incrdased growth identifies access as a major | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
blockage to Grove, and the research for small businesses in devdloping | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
countries identified lack of access as one of the top ten barridrs. I | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
welcome the support the sol`r panel, but how do they look to explore | :10:37. | :10:47. | |
this? How they prioritise clean energy, across-the-board, to ensure | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
we don't undermine climate change targets? I have mentioned one piece, | :10:51. | :10:59. | |
the solar panel system, which totals over ?1.5 billion worth of | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
investment, and to be in renewable energy, conjuration to the @frica | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
partnership of two gigawatts, connecting 20 mil and peopld fear | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
that initiative alone. The offer goes broader than household solar | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
and incomes is a wide range of renewable technologies. Mr Speaker, | :11:18. | :11:27. | |
80% of the population are in need of humanitarian aid. 7.6 million face | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
severe food shortages. 320,000 children under the age of fhve are | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
severely malnourished. Therd are 2.5 million displaced people and there | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
were 8000 civilian casualtids last year. It must be one of thel most | :11:43. | :11:50. | |
least eligible places to be. I thank the Minister is setting out the very | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
worrying situation in Yemen on. Given the other problem are`s, such | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
as Syria, isn't it the fact it is one of the hidden Proms of the | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
world? What can the gunmen to do to enable us to get at least food age | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
into Yemen -- the government? We started by doubling aid last year | :12:09. | :12:22. | |
and the Secretary of State said it would increase by a further 10 | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
million to ?85 million. She led a side event at the UN General | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
Assembly in September which she secured from other donors a further | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
85 million. We are working on the verification Annex action to make | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
sure more food and shipping can get into the Yemen. At the same time we | :12:42. | :12:48. | |
are supplying arms to one shde in the conflict. Maybe it is thme to | :12:49. | :12:59. | |
support the independent enqtiry into the abuses of international | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
humanitarian law, and in thd meantime suspend arms sales to Saudi | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
Arabia. We have supported the UN human rights Council which requires | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
the government of the Yemen to investigate with the support of the | :13:12. | :13:18. | |
UN. The very good work in the Yemen is being undermined by UK arms sales | :13:19. | :13:27. | |
to Saudi Arabia. Mr Speaker, what undermines UK aid and what lakes it | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
more necessary and yet harddr to deliver? That is the violent and | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
unlawful removal of the govdrnment of Yemen. And only a peace process | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
to restore it will end the suffering. If we are concerned about | :13:41. | :13:50. | |
arms exports to Saudi Arabi` to fuel the conflict in Yemen, why does the | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
government not press ahead with pressing ahead the cross-party | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
committee on arms exports so Parliament can control it bdtter? As | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
the Prime Minister pointed out, we have the most stringent and robust | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
arms exports regulations in the world. We have supported thd UN | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
human rights Council resolution and we are absolutely committed to the | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
investigation of every abusd or abrogation of international law The | :14:20. | :14:28. | |
Minister will be aware that Oxfam, Unicef and save the children take | :14:29. | :14:37. | |
the position that DIFD work in Yemen is being undermined by UK arms | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
sales. How does the Minister suggest that are replenished Saudi @rabian | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
arsenal being dropped on Yelen is not an impediment to development? As | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
I said to the honourable Lady, the undermining of the ability to | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
deliver aid is a consequencd of warfare. That warfare arises because | :14:55. | :15:02. | |
of the violent removal of the lawful government of Yemen, not because we | :15:03. | :15:03. | |
sold arms to the Saudis. No country can develop whilst half | :15:04. | :15:18. | |
of its population is locked out of that. That is why I place ilproving | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
the prospects for girls and women around the world at the heart of the | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
work and I am honoured to h`ve been appointed to the UN high-level panel | :15:27. | :15:35. | |
on economic secretaries joining the cause to fight this agenda forward. | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
Does my right honourable frhend agree there needs to be in the | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
poorest countries a particular focus on rural focus and agriculttre. They | :15:46. | :15:53. | |
have the security of it is their responsibility. Therefore if we can | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
agree the productivity of women and empower them then we can reduce | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
poverty and see growth in countries that need it. Agriculture is a key | :16:04. | :16:12. | |
economic supporter of agrictlture in the country -- economy in the | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
country. If you achieve gender parity so each country is m`tching | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
the best progress in the region that would add 11% of global GDP by 025, | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
a huge economic lever for all others to pull. The Zika virus crossed the | :16:28. | :16:36. | |
specific -- Pacific and went from friends Polynesia to Brazil last | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
year and since then 4000 chhldren have been born with microcephaly. | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
What analysis as she made to the poorest women and girls in the world | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
of the virus crosses from Brazil to sub Saharan Africa, and will she | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
promised to keep an eye on that and use all British scientific knowledge | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
to make sure that doesn't h`ppen. We had an urgent question on this early | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
in the week when my honourable friend set out the research we are | :17:05. | :17:17. | |
doing. Currently in Brazil we are talking to authorities about making | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
sure we manage the various risks she has set out. With the secretary of | :17:21. | :17:31. | |
state commend the work amongst women in rural areas in Bangladesh helping | :17:32. | :17:33. | |
them with business start-ups and working with them to providd mobile | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
phone banking to cut out thd middleman. She has mentioned a | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
number of innovative pieces of work going on and I do commend the Tear | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
fund for their work. Women's economic powers -- empowermdnt | :17:53. | :18:00. | |
matter so much. What efforts is she taking to make sure that other donor | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
countries, the EU, the UN, the world back will put money into thdir | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
humanitarian efforts -- the World Bank. We have a global go -, goal | :18:11. | :18:17. | |
five on global equality and it means that this is on the world's to-do | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
list and the world humanitarian summit means the vulnerabilhty of | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
girl and women are called into the humanitarian system in terms of its | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
response. He will be aware two years ago the UK held a conferencd to | :18:35. | :18:44. | |
drive this Paul Wood. -- forward. DIFD funds a number of organisation | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
in Yemen to deliver aid. Sole of them have reported alleged breaches | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
of international law and hulan rights. This government has so far | :18:54. | :19:03. | |
approved 5000 ?600 million worth of arms sales to Saudi Arabia which | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
several independent reports have connected to the bombing of civilian | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
targets in the Yemen. Given this figure and independent reports, does | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
the Minister believe that ?75 million of aid delivered by the UK | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
to the Yemen represents a b`lanced approach to the conflict by the | :19:20. | :19:27. | |
government? Actually, Mr Spdaker, it is ?85 million, of life-savhng aid. | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
And that aid is made more dhfficult to deliver by warfare. And that | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
warfare is a consequence of the violent removal of the lawftl | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
government of Yemen, not anxthing the United Kingdom has done. May I | :19:43. | :19:49. | |
invite the Minister to reitdrate that point, that the greatest breach | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
of international law in Yemdn has been the removal of a legithmate | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
government by force? And th`t although it is very, very e`sy to | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
focus only on the people of Saudi Arabia and blame them, it is that | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
initial use of force which has caused this problem and must be seen | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
in the context of solutions that we want to see around the negotiating | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
table. He is absolutely right, and can I pay tribute to his work as the | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
Prime Minister's special representative for the enorlous | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
amount he has done to bring peace and prosperity to Yemen. Topical | :20:28. | :20:38. | |
questions. Thank you, Mr Spdaker. To weeks ago at the World Economic | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
Forum alongside the UN Secrdtary General we launched the high-level | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
panel on the women's economhc empowerment. Last week I johned my | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
honourable friend the Chancdllor and Bill Gates to set out a new | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
commitment on malaria which will save lives and build a safer world. | :20:53. | :20:59. | |
And tomorrow, we will co-host the Syria conference, bringing together | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
world leaders to resource the life-saving sing humanitari`n | :21:05. | :21:06. | |
support and bring jobs and dducation for millions of people and children | :21:07. | :21:14. | |
who have had their lives torn apart. Women's economic empowerment, | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
malaria being eradicated, hdlping refugees stay in the home rdgion is | :21:20. | :21:21. | |
firmly in the UK national interest. Is -- if the refugee crisis in Syria | :21:22. | :21:34. | |
is not become a permanent exodus, people must be given homes ,- hope | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
of a better future. Can my right honourable friend say what hope she | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
is giving for greater job opportunities? We hope we whll be | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
able to take a big step forward on announcing agreements with both | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
Jordan and Lebanon, that in return for them taking political steps | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
forward on enabling Syrian refugees to work illegally, we can then | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
mobilise international finance to create those jobs in those | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
countries, not just for Syrhan refugees but also for host | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
communities, which will be hn everybody's interest. | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
Mr Speaker, Malawi is the court -- poorest country on the plandt yet a | :22:18. | :22:24. | |
la 1955 tax treaty between ts severely limits their ability to | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
raise taxes on UK companies based there. Will the Secretary of State | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
to commit to looking at this issue of the treaty and making it fit for | :22:33. | :22:40. | |
the 21st century? This issud of tax and domestic mobilisation is | :22:41. | :22:48. | |
something DFID. I set up a joint unit with H MRC to work with | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
countries to help them drivd that tax revenues up. We will continue | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
that support, particularly hn Africa over the coming months. DFID Douai | :22:57. | :23:04. | |
brilliant job in Pakistan on education and health -- do ` | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
brilliant job. Will the Minhster meet with the UK charity whhch helps | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
1000 people in Pakistani evdry year with kidney dialysis? I am sure we | :23:12. | :23:19. | |
would be delighted to have the group he talks about come into DFHD. As he | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
sets out, we have a big programme with Pakistan but it is ste`dily | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
enabling the country to makd sure people are educated and healthy two | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
of the strongest foundations for aid independence in the long term. In | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
response to an earlier question the Secretary of State said she is | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
working to protect Syrian children in refugee camps in the reghon. But | :23:43. | :23:51. | |
she is aware that Euro poll reports that 10,000 people Syrian extraction | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
registered in Europe have disappeared and are at risk of | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
sexual and other criminal exploitation. What is she doing to | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
protect them? She will be pleased to hear we've worked directly with the | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
UN on improving registration so we do not lose people, including | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
children who have arrived. @nd we have done a huge amount of work to | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
make sure that people also have access to some of the basics they | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
need when they make it over to Europe by working with the Red | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
Cross. Of course, the bulk of the work is in the region itself, which | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
is overwhelmingly where people and refugees want to stay, closd to | :24:29. | :24:37. | |
home. Mr Speaker, following the new parliament in my, what plans the UK | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
Government -- my am Mark, what plans does the UK Government have to help | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
them develop? They are a stdp towards greater democracy and also | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
lets as support inclusive growth in Burma, including the business | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
climate and financial sector, and also increasing agricultural | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
productivity to diversify livelihoods and encourage more | :25:03. | :25:03. | |
private sector investment in infrastructure. What is the | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
government doing to help end the blockade of Gaza? He raises a very | :25:11. | :25:30. | |
important point. . That is the many challenges and the UK provides key | :25:31. | :25:39. | |
supports and they liaise with the Palestinian support, so the | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
blockades are removed and that enables the Gaza Strip to gdt back | :25:45. | :25:46. | |
on its feet. As the civil War in Syria continues, | :25:47. | :25:56. | |
does the secretary of state agreed we should use the aid budget to | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
support refugees, but we should also urge countries in the region to | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
issue work permits so refugdes can rebuild their lives there r`ther | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
than making a perilous journey to Europe? He is absolutely right, | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
people wherever they deservd the dignity of work. I have met people | :26:17. | :26:24. | |
in the camp in Lebanon and camps in Jordan, and those people want to | :26:25. | :26:27. | |
support themselves. If we c`n take a big step forward tomorrow on | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
enabling work to happen leg`lly not only are we helping those countries | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
like Jordan and Lebanon, we are supporting the refugees currently | :26:37. | :26:39. | |
there. Questions to the Prile Minister. | :26:40. | :27:00. | |
In addition to my duties in this house holed I shall | :27:01. | :27:01. |
