HC Deb 17 March 1986 vol 94 cc14-5W
61. Mr. Chapman

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is his latest estimate of the total official overseas aid expenditure for 1985–86.

Mr. Raison

Funds available for aid expenditure in 1985–86 are £1,200 million. Actual expenditure is still subject to a number of uncertainties which affect the spending outturn on most of the items in the aid programme.
