Last year I sponsored Tom Clarke MP’s Private Member’s Bill which sought to improve transparency in where the UK’s aid money goes. And I’ve also taken this opportunity to raise these issues in my questions to Government Ministers. You can see their replies by following the links below.

In the past six months, I have asked parliamentary questions about AIDS/HIV in Senegal and Uganda, poverty alleviation in South America,  Burma ( here and here), immigration policy towards the Reer Hamar tribe of Somalia, and sustainable forestry and clean water sanitation in Africa.
