HL Deb 06 July 1993 vol 547 c50WA
Lord Trefgarne

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What official development assistance was provided by the United Kingdom in 1992 as a percentage of GNP.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

The UK's official development assistance in 1992 amounted to 0.31 per cent. of GNP. This more than maintains Britain's average performance over recent years of 0.30 per cent.

The ratio includes Britain's official development assistance to developing countries. It does not include assistance to countries in eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, which are not included on the DAC list of developing countries, or contributions to the Global Environment Facility and the Montreal Protocol Multilateral Fund.
