answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2016 answer text <p>Value for money is not just a matter for those who ultimately foot the bill for our aid budget – British taxpayers. Given the lifesaving work UK aid does across the globe, driving value for money also means that fewer lives are wasted to the scourge of poverty and disease. Driving the very best results for our money is therefore as much about helping the poorest as it is for justifying spending to those paying for it.</p> answering member constituency Witham answering member printed Priti Patel question first answered 16/11/2016 17:07:58 answering member 4066 label Biography information for Priti Patel
