HC Deb 24 February 2003 vol 400 cc274-5W
John Barrett

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what representations she has made to the US Government on contributions to the Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and malaria. [98994]

Clare Short

The UK Government have pledged £138 million to the Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and Malaria (GFATM) over five years and have urged other donor countries, including the US, to commit to multi year funding. The UK remains strongly committed to the fight against AIDS, TB and Malaria. In considering future contribution levels to the Fund, we will look closely at its performance and effectiveness relative to other channels of assistance, and at the extent to which the Fund is supporting health and development plans and processes formulated by developing countries.
