§ Mr. DafisTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what specific measures were undertaken to ensure that aid is targeted to the poorest people in areas where the forests are facing the severest threats.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydBritain's aid in all sectors is targeted predominantly to the poorest countries and our forestry programmes are focused on countries, and parts of countries, where forestry and deforestation are important issues such as in Nepal, India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Kenya, Ghana and Malawi. Some relatively better off countries such as Brazil and Malaysia also receive our forestry aid because of the particular problems they face in this sector.
§ Mr. DafisTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list those logging activities recognised by the Overseas Development Administration as promoting sustainable forest use for the benefit of traditional and other forest dwellers.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydThe logging activities most likely to promote sustainable forest use for the benefit of forest dwellers are those in which they participate directly.
