Prioritising a promise
The UK has been a historic leader on development assistance, and now we’ve got a chance to enshrine that leadership into law.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown recently announced that he will make the UK’s commitment on development assistance legally binding. This would be a historic step. It would not only ensure that we deliver on our promises to developing countries, it would also allow them to plan better for the future.
But we only have 7 working days before the Queen’s Speech to ensure that the government prioritises this legislation and sets the standard for the rest of the world to follow in 2010.
Please take action by signing our petition to Prime Minister Gordon Brown
Thank you for taking part,
