Mr. Foulkes

A list of UK development projects for India in 1997–98 and 1998–99 follows. (Where a project was supported in only one of these years, the appropriate date is indicated). Total expenditure on the India bilateral programme in 1997–98 was £68.9 million. A new Country Strategy Paper for India is under preparation. This will reflect the priorities set out in the White Paper on International Development. It will also consider the implications, including the economic and financial implications, of the recent nuclear tests when assessing prospects for partnerships and poverty reduction.
