HL Deb 01 February 1993 vol 542 cc6-7WA
Lord Judd

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is the rationale for the changed presentation of statistics in the 1992 British Overseas Aid Review and why its publication was delayed until December 1992.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

The changed presentation of statistics in the 1992British Overseas Aid Annual Review followed an internal review of the format, presentation, content and style of the review. Individual table giving British Aid statistics are available free from ODA Information Department. The review was published at a later date than in the past to coincide with the availability of British Aid statistics which was published later this year following the decision to show tables on a financial rather than calendar year basis.
