On 1st December 2025, the Bishop of Manchester asked a question on support for children orphaned as a result of AIDS, during a discussion marking World AIDS Day 2025:
The Lord Bishop of Manchester: My Lords, one of the most tragic consequences of AIDS remains children who lose both their parents at a very young age and often end up in an orphanage. We were talking in the House just last week about some of the challenges of orphanages. What is the Government’s plan to support children who have been left orphaned as a result of AIDS?
Baroness Chapman of Darlington (Lab, FCDO): It is a tragedy, as the right reverend Prelate said. The former Foreign Secretary David Lammy felt incredibly strongly about this and had an initiative to support the care of orphaned children in family settings. He was working with many Governments around the world to do this. This is something, from the last conversation I had with him about it, he intends to maintain and continue to champion as Deputy Prime Minister.
