Mrs. Mahon

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations Her Majesty's Government have made to the development assistance committee of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development to ensure that aid to eastern Europe is counted separately from aid to developing countries in development assistance committee calculations of official development assistance.

Mrs. Chalker

The Government supported the proposed conclusion, reached by the development assistance committee of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, that assistance to eastern Europe should not be included in the calculation of official development assistance as a proportion of GNP used in DAC statistical presentations.
