HC Deb 14 December 1981 vol 15 cc16-7W
31. Mr. Ioan Evans

asked the Lord Privy Seal what progress has been made on the accord reached at the Cancun summit relating to official aid to developing countries.

Mr. Neil Marten

There was no discussion at Cancun of a formal accord on official development aid. There was, however, broad agreement that aid should be concentrated on the poorest countries.
