HC Deb 23 July 1986 vol 102 cc219-20W
Mr. Hawksley

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs which Commonwealth countries are receiving aid loans from the United Kingdom in the current year; what is the value of aid or loans to each country; and how much they have received in each of the last five years.

Mr. Eggar

The information is contained in:

  1. (a) Tables 1 and 2 of the Supply Estimates for Overseas Aid for 1986–87, which give details of financial loans and grants to each developing country; and
  2. (b) "British Aid Statistics 1980–84", which provides the latest information available for previous years.

Copies of both these publications are available in the House of Commons Library. The 1986 edition of "British Aid Statistics", containing expenditure figures for 1985, is expected to be published by the end of August.
