Mrs. Chalker

My right hon. Friend will recall the reply I gave to his question on 16 November last year, column407, in which contributions to 116 non-governmental organisations in 1988–89 were set out. They totalled £63,214,364, including £11,667,912 from the joint funding scheme and £29,540,580 for emergency relief (disasters, refugees and food aid).

Normally the Community contributes 50 per cent. of the costs of individual projects. In 1989, the latest year for which figures are available, amounts granted to United Kingdom non-governmental organisations were as follows:
