Lord Rana – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for International Development

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Rana on 2015-12-14.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their assessment of the humanitarian impact of cutting aid to India from 2016.

Baroness Verma

We selected this three year transition period specifically so that we could responsibly fulfil commitments to existing financial aid projects and ensure government partners were able to build the capacity needed to meet development needs after our support ends.
