§ Mr. BoswellTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what action he is taking to stimulate the growth of microenterprises in developing countries.
§ Mr. Chris PattenWe are able to provide support in this area both directly through the bilateral country programme and also through our contributions to selected non-governmental organisations working in developing countries. Recent examples include support for microenterprises in two Indian urban projects, for handicrafts in Zimbabwe and for small industries in St. Helena and Mozambique.
