answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/10/2014 answer text <p>The UK has been at the forefront of the international response to the Ebola outbreak, working closely with the UN. However, the UK Government recognises that much more needs to be done to ensure that the spread of Ebola in West Africa is contained. That is why my Rt Hon Friend, the Member for Witney (David Cameron), Prime Minister has pushed for an urgent and ambitious scale-up in EU and Member States resources to fight Ebola at October’s European Council. The Prime Minster will make a statement about this on Monday 27 October. We have also been working with international partners to encourage them to increase contributions, including to the UN’s Ebola Trust Fund, which is currently significantly underfunded.</p> answering member constituency East Devon answering member printed Mr Hugo Swire question first answered 27/10/2014 14:10:18 answering member 1408 label Biography information for Lord Swire
