HC Deb 09 June 2000 vol 351 c411W
Mr. Streeter

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development if she will list the projects currently funded by her Department in China. [124561]

Mr. Foulkes

The UK is working with the Government of China to build up a new poverty-focused programme, targeting the inland provinces where the majority of the poor are located. My Department is providing support to health and education; economic reform; and the environment. The programme is expected to increase from £20 million in 2001–01 to £25 million in 2001–02.

A full list of activities, together with our Country Strategy Paper, will be placed in the Library of the House.
