HC Deb 15 April 1985 vol 77 c29W
31. Mr. Deakins

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how the special United Kingdom aid programme in sub-Saharan Africa will be co-ordinated with that of the World Bank.

Mr. Raison

We expect to agree in advance with the bank proposals for associating our money with the African special facility in joint operations in particular countries. Where the bank makes a commitment we would express our part of that commitment in a separate aid agreement with the beneficiary. We would be working together to support specific reform programmes.
