Purpose of the Session
This is the second evidence session of the Committee's Beyond Aid inquiry. The first panel will give Members the chance to explore how the UK and other donors manage Government policies that affect people in developing countries. The second panel is a chance to explore what the EU and its Member States do to ensure policy coherence on development. It also provides the chance to look at how well the EU represents UK interests on 'Beyond Aid' issues.
