Mrs. Clwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is Government policy on targeting aid on the poorest people within developing countries.

Mrs. Chalker

We are committed to using the aid programme to alleviate poverty in developing countries. To this end, we contribute both to activities specifically targeted on the poorest people and to activities more generally designed to promote sustainable economic growth.
