HC Deb 17 March 1986 vol 94 c14W
59. Mr. Deakins

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what proportion of United Kingdom aid funds through the European Economic Community is devoted to (a) population projects and (b) improvements in the economic position of women.

Mr. Raison

Figures are not available in the form requested, but the third Lomé convention provides for the first time that the appraisal of all European Community aid projects and programmes under it will take account of their impact on the status and role of women, and on the balance between demographic structure and other resources.
