I wish to update the House on the Government’s decision on investment in the Eighth Replenishment of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (the Global Fund) which covers 2026-28.

Diseases like HIV, TB and malaria are not only preventable and treatable, they also disproportionately affect the poorest and...

I beg to move,

That this House has considered Government support for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

It is an honour to serve under your chairship, Mr Dowd. It is 2025, and we find ourselves discussing whether the United Kingdom will continue supporting an organisation that has saved...

I am very much informed by my constituents in Strangford, where local church groups undertake fantastic work to support those in other countries plagued with the likes of malaria, tuberculosis and AIDS. I think specifically of the Ards Elim church in Newtownards in Strangford, which sends groups out every year...

The hon. Member is completely right about the work that voluntary and church groups do on global public health.

I congratulate my hon. Friend on securing this important debate. He mentioned the importance of investing in funds to protect our security. He will know better than anyone that malign-influence powers such as Russia and China are eager to step into the void that we leave when we withdraw our...

I totally agree with my hon. Friend, who sits on the Foreign Affairs Committee; that is an insightful point.

Many of us will remember “It’s a Sin”, Channel 4’s extraordinary drama about the HIV/AIDS crisis in the 1980s. It was joyful and heartbreaking, and it reminded us that behind every statistic...

I am delighted that the Prime Minister has chosen to co-host the eighth replenishment of the Global Fund, alongside the Republic of South Africa. I put on record my thanks to my hon. Friend the Member for Gedling (Michael Payne) for working hard over the last year to corral myself...

Yes, these are really important summits, and it is important to show international co-operation.

The Global Fund has been central to the progress I have spoken about. It has helped to save millions of lives and allowed millions of babies to be born HIV-free. Yet progress is fragile and without the...

I congratulate my hon. Friend on securing this vital debate and powerfully laying out the success of the Global Fund. Stepping back now and cutting our contribution to the fund, just as the United States is abandoning vaccination programmes altogether, would be devastating for some of the world’s most vulnerable...

I completely agree about the importance of demonstrating international leadership on this issue. If international support declines, from us and other countries, an additional 10 million new HIV infections, including up to 880,000 in children, could occur by 2030. Those are preventable deaths—people who could be alive this time next...

My hon. Friend talks about infectious disease. The cost of the malaria vaccine is now thought to be just under $5 a dose, which is amazing purchasing power. By contrast, the UK, under the last Government, who are not represented here today, was spending 29% of UK aid on in-country...

I thank my hon. Friend for his intervention, and I am finishing up now, Mr Dowd.

Britain has always punched above its weight when it comes to science, health and compassion. We helped to eradicate smallpox. We led on vaccine distribution. We have the knowledge, compassion and credibility to lead again,...
