§ 105. Mr. David NicholsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he has any plans to review the scope of British aid to India.
§ Mr. Chris PattenWe review our aid to India regularly. We expect India to remain our largest bilateral aid programme. How much we spend is determined by what we can afford and the rate at which we and the Indian authorities agree on projects. As agreed with the Indian authorities we will continue to concentrate on projects to promote economic growth and to alleviate poverty.
