§ Mr. David NicholsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what response he is able to make to the World Development Movement's charter for Lomé 4, in particular its requirement that Lomé 4 should assist the poorest farmers, support environmentally suitable development, reduce child mortality and improve other key health indicators and assess the impact of all projects on women; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. EggarI welcome the charter's emphasis on support for the poorest, on improvement in environmental monitoring and assessment, on assistance to the health sector and on ensuring that the interests of women are properly taken into account. These are issues to which we attach great importance.
