§ Mr. DalyellTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what policy considerations lie behind British support for the Tapajos project.
§ Mrs. ChalkerWe have not agreed to provide support to this project from the aid programme, but only to explore the possibility of doing so. I understand that the aim of the project is to promote sustainable forest management and to provide demonstration areas in which to develop such management practices; these are relevant to the needs of Brazil and other countries.
