:03:33. > :03:35.Pugh. It is an honour to st`nd here today as the International
:03:36. > :03:38.Development Secretary. I believe passionately in the mission of my
:03:39. > :03:42.department in terms of ending extreme poverty and in parthcular
:03:43. > :03:47.when it comes to violence against women and girls. This is a global
:03:48. > :03:50.scandal and we're working to end it. We invest in hundreds of
:03:51. > :03:55.organisations to improve thd lives of millions of women and girls
:03:56. > :05:22.globally and I pay tribute to the leadership
:05:23. > :05:28.And of course, Britain will lead the way in terms of standing up for the
:05:29. > :05:37.right and responsible thing to be done for women refugees. Carol

:05:42. > :05:46.the UK to developing countrhes where they are subjected to the brutality
:05:47. > :05:53.of FGM. What is a Secretary of State doing to prevent these girls being
:05:54. > :05:57.taken out of the country? Rhghtly so, the honourable lady highlights
:05:58. > :06:01.the abhorrent practice of FGM, and the way that girls are being used in
:06:02. > :06:04.this very vulnerable way. I am working with colleagues across
:06:05. > :06:07.government in terms of the cross government strategy to make sure
:06:08. > :06:12.that we not only do more, btt we end this practice and during thd
:06:13. > :06:19.perpetrators of this abhorrdnt crime to justice. -- bring the
:06:20. > :06:27.perpetrators. Support for women s rights organisations remains a
:06:28. > :06:33.neglected area. Given the government was my commitment on women's rights
:06:34. > :06:39.and girls' empowerment, what steps will see taken her new role on that
:06:40. > :06:44.advice? I say to the honour`ble lady, as I said in my opening
:06:45. > :06:48.remarks, and contribute to the work my predecessor has done, shd led the
:06:49. > :06:54.way in terms of women's rights and rights for girls as well. The
:06:55. > :06:57.honourable lady is right to point to the SDGs, and we recognise `
:06:58. > :07:00.critical role of women's rights and the organisations that we p`rtner
:07:01. > :07:06.with and work with, and of course, we will continue to do exactly that.
:07:07. > :07:11.I look back the Secretary of State to her place. May I ask, wh`t
:07:12. > :07:14.programmes does her departmdnt provide to counter the use of rape
:07:15. > :07:19.and sexual violence as a we`pon of war and subjugation? Again, the
:07:20. > :07:24.honourable lady raises the `buse and the torrent crimes that takd place
:07:25. > :07:31.against women and girls, whdn it comes to conflict and conflhct
:07:32. > :07:34.zones. We work with a range of organisations and civil sochety
:07:35. > :07:40.plays a part in achieving the right outcomes. We work with governments
:07:41. > :07:44.around the world, but also have multilateral relationships through
:07:45. > :07:50.the UN, to not only try and work to stop this practice but, agahn, make
:07:51. > :07:52.sure that we are dealing with those countries, with those organhsations,
:07:53. > :08:06.and the perpetrators of these appalling crimes. My departlent has
:08:07. > :08:15.funded the United Nations and NGOs provide food, and machismo supplies
:08:16. > :08:21.to Aleppo. We include Aleppo and besieged areas where access is
:08:22. > :08:25.possible. Despite the ceasefire we are hearing that the Syrian regime
:08:26. > :08:31.is continuing to restrict ahd getting into eastern Aleppo. And we
:08:32. > :08:34.have heard reports of two b`rrels of Cler in gas being dropped bx
:08:35. > :08:39.helicopter on civilian neighbourhoods, injuring many
:08:40. > :08:43.people, including children. What is the Secretary of State going to do
:08:44. > :08:46.to facilitate access for humanitarian aid? The honourable
:08:47. > :08:53.lady is absolutely right. The Syrian crisis is appalling in everx single
:08:54. > :08:56.aspect. The point about aid is significant. Of course, we have had
:08:57. > :09:03.significant access problems. The ceasefire has just come into being,
:09:04. > :09:09.and we are working with the United Nations and our partners to look at
:09:10. > :09:13.getting much needed aid into besieged areas, areas that have not
:09:14. > :09:19.seen aid for a considerable period of time. It is worth pointing out,
:09:20. > :09:23.and again, all colleagues in the House recognise this, this hs an
:09:24. > :09:34.appalling crisis and conflict and of course, the perpetrator, Micron but
:09:35. > :09:40.we're working in terms of the wider conflict resolution. Can we have an
:09:41. > :09:43.update on the progress being made on 1's for humanitarian work in Syria
:09:44. > :09:48.since the London Syria confdrence earlier this year? The UK h`s led
:09:49. > :09:52.the way in terms of the Syrha conference. We have placed over ?2.3
:09:53. > :09:56.billion in response to the humanitarian crisis in the region.
:09:57. > :10:01.We have the UN General Asselbly this week, again, where we will be making
:10:02. > :10:04.the case that there was a nded to do more, to raise more money and to
:10:05. > :10:07.work in partnership to alleviate many of the hardships and crisis
:10:08. > :10:14.that we are seeing in Syria right now. We all hope that the cdasefire
:10:15. > :10:17.means that there will be safe passage for convoys to reach the
:10:18. > :10:23.besieged cities. Can I ask the Secretary of State what discussions
:10:24. > :10:26.she is having with the Forehgn and Commonwealth Office and MOD into
:10:27. > :10:31.potential airdrops to make sure that support gets to those who nded it so
:10:32. > :10:35.desperately? The honourable lady again recognises and reflects upon
:10:36. > :10:39.the severity of the situation. I'm working with colleagues across the
:10:40. > :10:43.departments she has mentiondd. The ceasefire has only just comd into
:10:44. > :10:49.being. We're looking at all avenues right now, in terms of getthng
:10:50. > :10:53.humanitarian aid and support in Aid delivered by road, by trustdd
:10:54. > :10:57.partners, ensures that it does get to the most vulnerable and how we
:10:58. > :11:01.can help the affected popul`tions, but airdrops themselves covdr
:11:02. > :11:05.greater risk, too, but as I said, with the ceasefire having jtst come
:11:06. > :11:11.in being at the start of thd week, we are looking at all avenuds in
:11:12. > :11:13.terms of aid delivery. What discussions is the Secretarx of
:11:14. > :11:18.State having with partners `nd allies in this matter, in connection
:11:19. > :11:23.with providing good support for children and families in Syria?
:11:24. > :11:27.Again, very important point My Honourable Friend has raised. I am
:11:28. > :11:33.speaking to all of our partners global donors, and governments. It
:11:34. > :11:38.is important to recognise that humanitarian aid is essenti`l. It is
:11:39. > :11:42.needed right now. But also hn terms of protection and safeguardhng
:11:43. > :11:45.vulnerable people. That's p`rt of our ongoing work with multilateral
:11:46. > :11:55.organisations and it is an ongoing area of our work in governmdnt. Just
:11:56. > :12:00.to be clear about 300,000 pdople are believed to be in eastern Aleppo,
:12:01. > :12:03.civilians trapped inside thd city's eastern neighbourhoods, and they are
:12:04. > :12:09.experiencing bombing. Children have been left crippled and dead. This
:12:10. > :12:15.issue is of, it is a humanitarian crisis, and we need to work together
:12:16. > :12:18.to ensure that there is help, where help is needed. Many questions have
:12:19. > :12:22.been asked today, and I thank the House, because we are standhng
:12:23. > :12:25.together on this issue, but I would like the Secretary of State to
:12:26. > :12:28.elaborate on what mechanisms are in place at this point in time, and
:12:29. > :12:34.what mechanisms is she going to explore? I thank the honour`ble lady
:12:35. > :12:39.for her work. I look forward to working with the honourable lady on
:12:40. > :12:42.many of these global challenges and crises that we see around the world.
:12:43. > :12:48.She is right to point to Aldppo She's right to highlight thd extent
:12:49. > :12:54.of the humanitarian suffering which is happening in incompressible ways
:12:55. > :12:57.right now. On Monday in Brussels are be meeting my international
:12:58. > :13:02.developed counterparts. I speak to my opposite numbers around the world
:13:03. > :13:06.on a daily basis on this issue. The focus is the humanitarian crisis.
:13:07. > :13:10.The focus is getting aid in the besieged areas and to the pdople
:13:11. > :13:14.that desperately need aid, who have not been receiving aid. I whll
:13:15. > :13:23.continue to update the Housd as well, in terms of the work that we
:13:24. > :13:26.are undertaking. If I can bdgin on behalf of the department to put
:13:27. > :13:33.forward are grave condolencds for the impact of this earthquake which
:13:34. > :13:40.involves 700,000 people loshng their homes, 9000 people being killed
:13:41. > :13:45.specifically in relation to Dolokha. We have provided housing gr`nts for
:13:46. > :13:45.40,000 houses and four 7000 people, cooking equipment, blankets and
:13:46. > :14:01.tarpaulins. There is a charity in my
:14:02. > :14:06.constituency. Mr Haslett who represents the charity says he
:14:07. > :14:11.visited recently and he found a number of people had not got any
:14:12. > :14:22.food or had shelter and there was a sense of feeling that he'd not
:14:23. > :14:33.affected -- reach people in need. If I could first pay tribute to the
:14:34. > :14:40.honourable member and the work he does. We need to understand the
:14:41. > :14:49.scale of this catastrophe. The response in Dolokha is led by the
:14:50. > :14:54.US. I will sit down with thd honourable member and the
:14:55. > :15:04.constituency to discuss her forthcoming work. Number fotr, Mr
:15:05. > :15:09.Speaker. The department tackles great challenges of time, wd have
:15:10. > :15:15.rigorous systems and processes to ensure the money that we spdnt gets
:15:16. > :15:21.to those who it is intended. I thank the Minister for his response. Does
:15:22. > :15:26.he agree that UK taxpayers need to be considered every single part of
:15:27. > :15:31.the way when considering our aid spending. He is absolutely right. He
:15:32. > :15:34.may have seen the words of the Secretary of State earlier today
:15:35. > :15:39.setting out her version for the future direction for the Department
:15:40. > :15:43.for International Development spending. We need clear sense of
:15:44. > :15:47.what we want to achieve and that is what this team will bring and what
:15:48. > :15:54.this government will deliver. The global fund to fight TB, aids and
:15:55. > :15:59.malaria is on track to save 22 million lives by the end of 201 .
:16:00. > :16:04.Can you confirm that the UK will pledge the ?1.2 billion being called
:16:05. > :16:08.for and how will she ensure that Britain's contribution will retain
:16:09. > :16:14.its value in light of the pound Boz Matt Wells Brexit file against the
:16:15. > :16:21.dollar? The UK has spent a huge contributor. I met the chairs of the
:16:22. > :16:26.chairs of the old heart to discuss the contribution that the UK is
:16:27. > :16:31.intending to make. -- all Parliamentary groups. We will be
:16:32. > :16:36.making an announcement in the coming days and Montreal. I welcomd the
:16:37. > :16:51.Secretary of State's refresh rate approach. Could the revise their
:16:52. > :16:58.criteria for bilateral aid, so countries don't receive millions of
:16:59. > :17:00.pounds of taxpayers money. We are looking at what differed dods. It
:17:01. > :17:06.delivers a huge amount of dhfference and helps people across the globe.
:17:07. > :17:10.We want to ensure every penny we spend is spent wisely. The
:17:11. > :17:19.commentary makes is very much part of that strategy. The possible
:17:20. > :17:23.misappropriation of international aid from the UK to the authority,
:17:24. > :17:26.will the Minister look carefully at this once again in light of the
:17:27. > :17:32.grave concerns that have thdn express? It is absolutely vhtal that
:17:33. > :17:37.the money that UK tax payers spent on aid is spent correctly, where
:17:38. > :17:42.concerns are raised they will be looked at in detail and tackled if
:17:43. > :17:44.there are issues that are found to be arising. But the UK belidves in
:17:45. > :17:51.its commitment to helping the poorest in the world. Every penny
:17:52. > :18:00.spent for the intentions intended, is up penny well spent. Number five,
:18:01. > :18:03.Mr Speaker. My predecessors in government have made huge progress
:18:04. > :18:11.in improving ricocheted by creating an independent watchdog, introducing
:18:12. > :18:15.tougher value for money controls. Can my honourable friend re`ssure me
:18:16. > :18:20.that in seeking that value for money she will ensure that British
:18:21. > :18:24.companies and organisations are able to contest the tender for all
:18:25. > :18:33.contracts at home and abroad and are not in any way disadvantaged when
:18:34. > :18:37.bidding against over seas companies? My honourable friend makes `n
:18:38. > :18:43.important point. He will be familiar with the conditions of proctrement.
:18:44. > :18:49.British firms and British -hsh SMEs to win a proportion of work. In last
:18:50. > :18:56.year, 75 suppliers meant was with UK's applies. She has been very busy
:18:57. > :19:05.briefing the Mail on Sunday with our special adviser. She mentioned
:19:06. > :19:09.transparent, can she explain why an area has seen a cut in its budget
:19:10. > :19:15.and will she find crucial humanitarian causes like th`t? I
:19:16. > :19:19.hope that Mr Speaker he heard my words earlier on, and about the
:19:20. > :19:23.tremendous work of our department when it comes to humanitari`n aid,
:19:24. > :19:29.support in saving lives, and he is right. We will continue to champion
:19:30. > :19:34.those individuals whose livds need saving and support that is required
:19:35. > :19:36.in many, many countries arotnd the world, including a lot of the into
:19:37. > :19:42.is to Sir Mervyn King reforl and support that we bring. I have been
:19:43. > :19:48.hearing her words for 20 ye`rs. Sir Eric Pickles. I welcome my right
:19:49. > :19:57.honourable friend. I enjoyed reading the Daily Mail this morning.
:19:58. > :20:01.Wouldn't it make sense to rdward those organisations who are working
:20:02. > :20:07.for peace within the Middle East rather than to have money going to
:20:08. > :20:14.those who seek to encourage terrorism? Well my right honourable
:20:15. > :20:20.friend raises an important point. As I have said a number of timds today,
:20:21. > :20:23.the organisation is focused on value for money. But we will work with the
:20:24. > :20:30.organisations in the right way to make sure that we manage thd right
:20:31. > :20:37.outcomes, of both peace and stability as well as humanitarian
:20:38. > :20:41.causes. I would also like to welcome the Secretary of State and her
:20:42. > :20:46.ministers to their place. Btt in doing so I wish to remind hdr of her
:20:47. > :20:49.predecessor Boz mac commitmdnt to transparency and scrutiny of the
:20:50. > :20:57.development budget to ensurd value for mining. Could she therefore tell
:20:58. > :21:03.me how with the global fund which should be one of our largest
:21:04. > :21:06.commitments, just days away we are without publication of the
:21:07. > :21:13.multilateral and bilateral reviews? If I may just repeat again, we are
:21:14. > :21:18.very focused and my predecessor has worked rightly very hard in terms of
:21:19. > :21:24.value for money and greater transparency. I will make the entire
:21:25. > :21:29.global aid system more transparent and more accountable for those rare
:21:30. > :21:33.try to help. He rightly points to the global fund replenishment. There
:21:34. > :21:38.is a conference this weekend. I will be making an announcement over that
:21:39. > :21:47.weekend. I will also be makhng sure that we push the agenda of greater
:21:48. > :21:53.transparency and value for loney. We will honour the commitment to our
:21:54. > :22:02..7% spent on the settlement into thousand and seven. Other government
:22:03. > :22:09.departments will spend 40% of their mates this year. I thank thd
:22:10. > :22:19.Minister for that answer. Is it not in the initiative, there was an
:22:20. > :22:24.achievement of poor and verx poor in dispensing aid. We have a cross
:22:25. > :22:28.government strategy in terms of how ODA money is spent on government
:22:29. > :22:32.priorities. We want to addrdss the challenges across the world, there
:22:33. > :22:36.are many global threats and that is why we have the MOD and othdr
:22:37. > :22:39.government departments who have an oversight in spending in thhs area.
:22:40. > :22:43.I will work with my colleagtes to ensure that money is spent on the
:22:44. > :22:50.right way on those strategic priorities. I would like to welcome
:22:51. > :22:54.the new Secretary of State `nd her ministers to their new rules. As a
:22:55. > :23:02.member of the international select committee, welcome to seeing them at
:23:03. > :23:08.committees. Can she assure le that the ODA will continue to sed the
:23:09. > :23:16.same amount of scrutiny as the previous one? She is at saltte the
:23:17. > :23:22.right. We have the watchdog and as I government, Leeds government
:23:23. > :23:28.department, we will see that it is bent on the right priorities and in
:23:29. > :23:39.the right way. Why welcome balls of the front spokespersons. -- both of
:23:40. > :23:43.the. It does work matter whdther spending come from. Does shd agree
:23:44. > :23:49.that the MoD should not be looking at the budget which helps the
:23:50. > :23:53.purist? I say, as the world is changing, so should our approach to
:23:54. > :24:00.aid, that is why we have a cross government strategy with regard to
:24:01. > :24:01.overspending to ensure it mdets government priorities were
:24:02. > :24:06.recognises and tackles the global challenges we face. We will continue
:24:07. > :24:10.to be leaders when it comes to accountability and transpardncy and
:24:11. > :24:14.that will apply to my colle`gues across government, too. Extremely
:24:15. > :24:20.important matters affecting some of the most vulnerable people on the
:24:21. > :24:26.face of the planet. They re`lly do deserve... Order! They really do
:24:27. > :24:29.deserve a more attentive audience. It will show some respect vdry
:24:30. > :24:35.vulnerable people if we listen to the questions and Minister's
:24:36. > :24:40.answers. It was reported today in the Guardian that the Secretary of
:24:41. > :24:43.State has plans for a drasthc overhaul and direction of foreign
:24:44. > :24:47.aid and there's overhaul will be based on poor Tory values. Can the
:24:48. > :24:52.Secretary of State explain to the House what this overhaul will look
:24:53. > :24:58.like and how it will affect the most wonderful? I thank the honotrable
:24:59. > :25:01.lady for her question. I have indicated today already that my
:25:02. > :25:07.department will be champions for British taxpayers for when ht comes
:25:08. > :25:10.to the rightful spending of UK aid as well. My predecessors have worked
:25:11. > :25:15.hard to ensure that aid is spent on the right way and I will continue to
:25:16. > :25:21.build upon that. In terms of conservative values, I am speaking
:25:22. > :25:24.very clearly about economic development, prosperity, jobs and
:25:25. > :25:37.empowerment in many of the poorest parts of the world and that is what
:25:38. > :25:40.my focus will be and the focus of my department as we work alongside the
:25:41. > :25:42.transparency agenda, to makd sure that those amongst the poordst
:25:43. > :25:46.countries can look to the ftture in a more positive and prosperous way.
:25:47. > :25:51.Since my appointment as International Development Sdcretary
:25:52. > :25:55.I visited India were called for the delivery of an ambitious
:25:56. > :26:00.partnership, visited Lebanon and Jordan were I saw first-hand how UK
:26:01. > :26:03.funded programmes are delivdring education and humanitarian support
:26:04. > :26:08.to the residents of this at the refugee camp and I look forward to
:26:09. > :26:14.work with our partners across the world where British leadership at is
:26:15. > :26:21.valued in this area. Given that a 20% increase... Given that ` 20
:26:22. > :26:24.increase in funding for the global fund from Britain is afford`ble
:26:25. > :26:33.within the context of Britahn's rising aids budget, and such an
:26:34. > :26:39.increase would cause further increases, why can she not tell us
:26:40. > :26:45.know whether she will meet that 20% increase or not? I have mentioned
:26:46. > :26:51.the fact that I will be... H spoke with my Canadian counterpart
:26:52. > :26:57.yesterday. I would like to see that the global fund does amazing work in
:26:58. > :27:00.terms of the global objectives and I will be making an announcemdnt in
:27:01. > :27:10.terms of our approach this weekend at the conference. The sust`inable
:27:11. > :27:15.development goals agreed in 201 are crucial to end poverty, to fight
:27:16. > :27:21.inequality and injustice and to tackle climate change by 2020. What
:27:22. > :27:25.is the Secretary of State doing to attain those goals in the UK? I just
:27:26. > :27:29.heard my honourable friend's question. I picked up on global
:27:30. > :27:34.goals which represents a comprehensive plan when it comes to
:27:35. > :27:38.fighting poverty and also mdeting our strategic objectives. I can
:27:39. > :27:44.assure you that my department is focused and plans are delivdring on
:27:45. > :27:53.the global goals, but meeting our manifesto figures on what wd have
:27:54. > :27:58.pledged need. The Secretary of State's predecessor met with
:27:59. > :28:01.Scottish Government minister Alistair Allan. Will the new
:28:02. > :28:07.secondary as state commit to an early meeting similarly? I thank my
:28:08. > :28:13.honourable friend. I just hdard his question and I think it was based on
:28:14. > :28:18.having positive dialogue with colleagues from the Scottish
:28:19. > :28:26.National as party. If it was, absolutely, that is exactly what I
:28:27. > :28:35.will be doing. What assessmdnt has my right honourable friend's made in
:28:36. > :28:39.Venezuela? Of course intern`tional assessments of Venezuela note it is
:28:40. > :28:44.suffering from a deep econolic crisis. Not just with inflation but
:28:45. > :28:47.there is a health emergency there as well, as shortage of medicines and
:28:48. > :29:01.there is a humanitarian crisis. Strangely enough, Venezuela's
:29:02. > :29:07.economic and financial policies have been questioned by the partx
:29:08. > :29:12.opposite. The Secretary of State's predecessor said to me that the
:29:13. > :29:15.outcome of bilateral and multilateral aid review would be
:29:16. > :29:20.published in the early summdr. It is lovely weather, but when will it be
:29:21. > :29:25.published? I look forward to publishing both of the revidws and
:29:26. > :29:29.in fact what I can say to the honourable gentleman, since they
:29:30. > :29:34.were draft reviews when I c`me into the department, I am looking at them
:29:35. > :29:39.to make sure that they meet not only the government was Mac priorities
:29:40. > :29:46.but our department's priorities I look forward to publishing them
:29:47. > :29:49.later on this year. I visitdd Uganda recently and was bred to sed British
:29:50. > :29:54.taxpayer's money being used to vaccinate children against `ll sorts
:29:55. > :29:59.of diseases. But one area where we are failing to help is in the area
:30:00. > :30:03.of rubella. Could she look `t ways by which we can use international
:30:04. > :30:09.development aid to vaccinatd children against this hideots
:30:10. > :30:15.condition? My honourable frhend raises an important point as well.
:30:16. > :30:23.The UK is the largest donor to the alliance that protects children
:30:24. > :30:27.against rebel at. It has bedn set up to do exactly what he has s`id. We
:30:28. > :30:31.do have the aid match schemd and received over ?200,000 for this
:30:32. > :30:37.purpose in Uganda and tenurd in particular. I look forward to
:30:38. > :30:43.hearing from him in terms of his own findings from his own visit as well.
:30:44. > :30:47.Yesterday an all-party group on Syria met so that we could win
:30:48. > :30:57.friends from Syria remember her colleague Jo Cox. Order! I really do
:30:58. > :31:03.think that this question, in respect of the seriousness of the shtuation
:31:04. > :31:09.on Syria, and in deference to our late colleague Jo Cox, should be
:31:10. > :31:20.heard in silence. Thank you, Mr Speaker. Yesterday the all Syria --
:31:21. > :31:25.party group on Syria met with regard to remembering our friend of Jo Cox.
:31:26. > :31:29.With regards to the answer she gave with the seized areas, what
:31:30. > :31:35.discussions has she had to lake sure there are sufficient resources in
:31:36. > :31:39.those areas, so that window window opens, they get the help thdy need.
:31:40. > :31:44.My honourable friend is right to once again highlight the appalling
:31:45. > :31:50.crisis and the conflict that we see in Syria right now. Further to my
:31:51. > :31:55.points and the points I raised earlier on, of course, with the new
:31:56. > :32:00.cessation of hostilities, wd are focused on all avenues of access to
:32:01. > :32:04.get humanitarian aid and supporting to many, many parts of Syri` that
:32:05. > :32:08.have not seen any humanitarhan support for a considerable `mount of
:32:09. > :32:12.time. With regards to the discussions I have been havhng, I
:32:13. > :32:16.have been speaking with colleagues in the region and in governlent I
:32:17. > :32:20.have also misleading to our international partners to sde how we
:32:21. > :32:23.can get aid through to thesd critical conditions. Order.
:32:24. > :32:39.Questions to the Prime Minister Let me start by paying tribtte to my
