I share the hon Gentleman\u2019s concerns about the reports of poor conditions and overcrowding in US detention facilities on the border with Mexico.<\/p>

I very much welcome the steps already taken by the Administration and Congress to address these issues, including the emergency funding signed off by the President on 1 July.<\/p>

These are difficult issues, and the UK has also struggled sometimes to get this right.<\/p>

But we very much encourage our US friends to continue to work to improve the conditions in these facilities.<\/p>

The UK is committed to supporting entrepreneurship in Africa to grow local economies, create jobs, reduce poverty and support sustainable development. Last summer, the PM announced that CDC Group, the UK\u2019s Development Finance Institution, would invest up to £3.5 billion in businesses in Africa over four years (2018 to 2021). CDC has already committed £1.9bn in Africa over the last 3 years (2016-2018). CDC is invested in 698 different companies in Africa, directly supporting 370,000 jobs.<\/p>

Through CDC and other country specific initiatives, we will mobilise a further £4 billion of private investment for Africa. This investment will allow businesses to grow, produce goods and services for local people, generate income and tax revenues, and help address the financing gap for meeting the Sustainable Development Goals.<\/p>
