MULHOLLAND JOINS LEEDS STUDENTS TO SUPPORT STOP AIDS CAMPAIGN
12.00.00am GMT Tue 20th Mar 2007
Leeds MP, Greg Mulholland, met with students from Leeds University in Parliament today to call upon the Government to place combating AIDS at the top of the agenda ahead of the meeting of the heads of the G8 states in June.
Mr Mulholland declared his support for the Stop AIDS campaign and its call to the G8 states to strengthen efforts meeting the Millennium development goal of providing universal access to HIV treatment by 2010.
Commenting Mr Mulholland said:
"I fully support this excellent campaign. The spread of AIDS and HIV, particularly in the developing world, is one of the greatest and most terrible problems we face as a planet.
"Right across the globe people are dying because they cannot get access to adequate medical treatment and life-saving medicines.
"We need a global, concerted, and co-ordinated effort to fully engage with and tackle this problem, particularly from those nations with the power and resources to act.
"Only then can we take real steps to tackle the AIDS epidemic and help those millions of people affected by the misery of AIDS and HIV."
