Millennium Development Goals

Mr. Tom Clarke
13. To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what recent assessment he has made of the Government's contribution to the achievement of the millennium development goals.

Mr. Douglas Alexander
The UK Government are committed to delivery of the millennium development goals through its public service agreement on international poverty reduction. Our July White Paper set out how we will respond to new challenges building a platform for further action on poverty beyond 2015. The latest assessment of the Government's contribution to the achievement of the millennium development goals is contained in DFID's 2009 annual report, also published in July and available in the Library of the House and on the DFID website:
