Following the Prime Minister’s statement on the G7 Summit, Harriett Baldwin welcomes the announcement of more money for Education Cannot Wait and calls on him to continue to champion the cause of girl’s education.
Harriett Baldwin (West Worcestershire) (Con) I warmly welcome the Prime Minister’s announcement at the G7 to give more money to Education Cannot Wait and the leadership he has consistently shown on the importance of girls’ education around the world. Will he commit to continuing to champion this cause and seek for more of our aid budget to be spent on global education?
The Prime Minister I thank my hon. Friend for everything she has done, both on the development front and in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, to champion female education around the world. I believe that 12 years of quality education is the single most effective policy for solving most of the ills of the world.
