ASSISTANCE FOR AFRICA'S FUTURE

Early day motion 255, tabled 6 June 2005 by Gregory Campbell (DUP). Signed by 80 members.

That this House notes the ongoing humanitarian crisis occurring across the African continent; welcomes the interest shown by many in helping to resolve it; deplores the death rate in Darfur, the HIV/AIDS epidemic in many parts of the continent and the eviction of approximately 200,000 people in Zimbabwe's urban areas; notes that these are but an indication of the scale of the problems; and calls upon the Government to spearhead an international drive to help resolve Africa's poverty and corruption, allowing the peoples there to develop and sustain their economies for the future.

Signatures by party: Conservative 40, Liberal Democrat 17, Labour 13, DUP 7, Plaid Cymru 2, Scottish National Party 1.
