HC Deb 18 January 1993 vol 217 c17W
46. Sir Thomas Arnold

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what criteria are used to determine the proportion of overseas aid allocated(a) bilaterally and (b) multilaterally.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

A high proportion of our multilateral aid spending is determined by negotiated or assessed international commitments, including our share of the European Community's aid budget. Otherwise, our aid resources are mostly spent bilaterally.
