HC Deb 15 February 1991 vol 185 c598W
Mr. Wray

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what EC funds for 1991–92 have been allocated to assist(a) economic, (b) environmental, (c) social, (d) scientific, (e) technical and (f) cultural programmes in (i) Africa, (ii) Asia and (iii) Latin America.

Mrs. Chalker

The countries of Africa included in the Lomé convention have been allocated 4,685.5 million ecu (about £3,245 million) for the period 1990 to 1995. This figure is not allocated in advance as between individual years or categories of aid. The European Community's approved budget for 1991 does not distinguish between the categories of aid required. The total payments provision for 1991 for Asia is 175.9 million ecu (about £122 million), and for Latin America 111.2 million ecu (about £77 million).
