§ Mr. Brocklebank-Fowlerasked the Lord Privy Seal what percentage of the bilateral aid programme for 1980–81 is firmly committed to programmes and projects.
§ Mr. Neil MartenIt is difficult to give a precise figure because the pattern is constantly shifting, but it is estimated that approximately 88 per cent. of the bilateral aid programme for 1980–81 is already firmly committed and only a small proportion of the remaining balance is not yet earmarked for specific programmes or projects.
