§ 33. Mrs. Anne CampbellTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what measures he is taking to ensure that aid is targeted towards those people most in need. [18758]
§ Mr. BaldryThe whole of the aid programme already has a strong poverty focus. In 1993–94 over two thirds of our bilateral aid went to the poorest developing countries. We are increasing our assistance through non-governmental organisations and have strengthened our capacity to design and implement projects of direct benefit to the poor.
