Jan O'Sullivan
Question:63 Ms O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if his attention has been drawn to the appalling situation in the west African state of Niger where hundreds of thousands of children are being killed and disfigured by the wasting disease, noma; the plans, if any, he has to provide special aid to help deal with this situation in view of the fact that mouthwash costing as little as £2 can prevent the disease; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
