The White Paper also explains how, as we work to rebuild our own economy, we must redouble our efforts to enable developing countries to build their own paths to growth through trade and investment, and to help them develop the capacity to do so, especially in Africa. This is the right thing to do both on moral grounds and for Britain’s national interest. Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the hard work and commitment of Lord Brittan, Trade Adviser to the Prime Minister, who has guided the strategy set out in this White Paper. He, I, and the whole Government are convinced of one.
