§ Ms McCaffertyTo ask the Secretary of State for International Development what assessment she has made of the impact on the provision of(a) DFID and (b) joint DFID/US funded overseas family planning projects of the US Administration's decision to prohibit funding of foreign non-Governmental organisations which take part in public discussions on abortion in their own countries. [100476]
§ Mr. FoulkesThe US Administration's decision makes no difference to the commitment of this Government to helping poor people access good quality family planning and reproductive health services. It will not have a significant impact on jointly funded programmes.
