HL Deb 03 February 1997 vol 577 cc121-6WA
The Earl of Sandwich

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Which British non-governmental organisations received assistance during the last financial year from the Overseas Development Administration, and how much each organisation received.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

Grants made by the Overseas Development Administration to United Kingdom Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in 1995–96 for work in developing countries amounted to £163,845,411 as detailed in the attached table. The comparable figure in 1993–94 was £148,610,155 and in 1994–95 £173,124,136—an exceptional year due to the Rwanda crisis.

In addition we made grants amounting to £15,655,907 in 1995–96 to United Kingdom NGOs for work in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. The comparable figure in 1993–94 was £9,839,600 and in 1994–95, £11,989,655.

United Kingdom NGOs also draw substantially on European Union aid programmes, to which we contribute.

The table below provides details of all ODA grants in 1995–96.
