The International Development Secretary recently confirmed the UK commitment of up to £1 billion to Gavi for 2016 to 2020, two months ahead of the pledging conference, to encourage other donors to step up and support Gavi to save over 5 million lives. I am, along with Ministerial colleagues, actively approaching Ministers in other governments to encourage them to commit further funding to ensure the full $7.5 billion is achieved.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency New Forest West answering member printed Mr Desmond Swayne question first answered 15/12/2014 18:01:39 answering member 55 label Biography information for Sir Desmond Swayne
