Mary Creagh MP, Labour’s Shadow Development Secretary, in response to the Public Accounts Committee ‘Oversight of the Private Infrastructure Development Group’ report, said:

“David Cameron promised value for money on aid but this report shows he has failed to deliver. The NAO and now the Public Accounts Committee have exposed that the Tory-led Government has been pouring hundreds of millions of pounds of taxpayers’ money into projects without checking where it went. 

“Ministers have sat on their hands while Britain’s aid efforts have been undermined. If the Tories and Lib Dems don’t know where aid money is going then how can they measure if it is working?”
