§ Sir David SteelTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will provide a breakdown of (1) emergency aid, (2) project aid and (3) programme aid to Uganda for each of the last five years, giving details of the regional distribution and sectors supported.
§ Mrs. ChalkerGross British bilateral aid to Uganda over the five-year period 1985–1989 was as follows:
(4) what estimates he has of the number of people who would be forced to relocate by a 1 m rise in the sea level in (a) Bangladesh, (b) Egypt and (c) the Maldives;
(5) what estimates are available of the number of people in developing countries who currently live on land that would be flooded if the sea level rose by (a) 20 cm, (b) 50 cm, (c) 70 cm and (d) 1 m; and if he will estimate at expected population growth rates what these populations are likely to be in 2030;
(6) what is the estimated global cost of building sea defences in developing countries to protect land against a sea level rise of (a) 20 cm, (b) 50 cm, (c) 70 cm, and (d) 1 m;
(7) what estimates are available of the effect of (a) a 1 deg and (b) a 2 deg rise in temperature on agricultural output in (i) west Africa, (ii) east Africa, (iii) southern Africa, (iv) south Asia, (v) south-east Asia, (vi) central America and (vii) Latin America.
§ Mrs. ChalkerThe scale and effects of sea level rise and changing agricultural productivity arising from global warming on people in developing countries remain uncertain. The most detailed study is that carried out by the intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC), now nearing completion. Copies of the IPCC's report will 675W be placed in the Library of both Houses when it is published. Last year the ODA commissioned a study on options for limiting CO2, emissions in developing countries. I will place a copy of the report in the Library of both Houses.
