HC Deb 09 January 1985 vol 70 cc446-9W
Mrs. Currie

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will publish in the Official Reporta table showing the amount of overseas aid spent (a)in each country or (b) through each international organisation in 1983–84, the amount due to be spent in 1984–85 and the amount planned for 1985–86.

Mr. Raison

The information requested is not yet available. Figures for 1983–84 will be contained in the first edition of a new ODA statistical publication which will be available in February, and placed in the Library of the House. In future it will be published annually and show data on a financial year basis for the preceding years. So far British aid statistics have been published only on a calendar year basis. Information for 1984–85 will be in the Spring Supplementary Estimate for the Overseas Aid Vote Class II, 8 which will be available in February and bring up to date information already contained in the 1984–85
