HC Deb 09 July 1990 vol 176 c28W
111. Mr. Wray

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what support Her Majesty's Government are giving to proposals by President Mitterrand for a special global environmental facility to finance programmes to tackle environmental problems through the World Bank.

Mrs. Chalker

I refer the hon. Member to the answer that I gave the hon. Member for Easington (Mr. Cummings) on 14 May.

123. Ms. Primarolo

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether any environmental projects or initiatives in the third world have been funded by money additional to the existing aid budget.

Mrs. Chalker

Britain's contribution of up to $15 million to the funding mechanism to help developing countries meet their obligations under the strengthened Montreal protocol will be separate from the aid budget to developing countries. It will form part of a new and separate item in the ODA's expenditure plans.
