§ Mr. FlynnTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will reconsider his policy of aid to eastern European countries to include family planning assistance to Romania.
§ Mr. Douglas HoggOur policy towards aid to Romania for humanitarian purposes is unaffected by our policy towards long-term economic aid. We believe humanitarian aid should be unrestricted and have ourselves provided some £6.5 million directly and through the European Community. Our bilateral aid has included a family planning programme implemented by Marie Stopes International.
