HC Deb 25 April 2001 vol 367 c304W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what new proposals she has to reduce fatalities in childbirth in Azerbaijan. [157644]

Clare Short

Azerbaijan is not a priority for direct assistance, due to poor progress in democratic reform. My Department does, however, provide financial support to international institutions including the WHO and the UNFPA, which operate safe motherhood and reproductive health projects in Azerbaijan.
