§ Mr. WorthingtonTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is his policy in122W respect of the plan of the European Commission to suspend rehabilitation assistance to Rwanda. [23613]
§ Mr. BaldrySome aspects of the EC's longer-term aid plans have been temporarily suspended pending the outcome of the Kibeho inquiry. But at our insistence there will be no immediate effect on humanitarian aid, all planned health and education assistance, support for human rights monitoring and the rule of law. The suspension will therefore have little immediate effect. There will be a review at the Development Council on 1 June which my noble Friend the Minister for Overseas Development will attend.
