HC Deb 08 February 1982 vol 17 c282W
Mr. Dorrell

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether Her Majesty's Government intend to increase their support for the International Planned Parenthood Federation.

Mr. Neil Marten

My right hon. Friend the Member for Chesham and Amersham (Sir I. Gilmour) told the House on 24 July 1981—[Vol. 9 c. 731]—that we intended to contribute more to international population programmes. The IPPF will benefit from these additional funds. Her Majesty's Government have decided, subject to Parliamentary approval, to contribute £2.05 million to the IPPF in 1981–82 and £2.4 million in 1982–83.
