HC Deb 21 January 1991 vol 184 c42W
Mr. Tom Clarke

To ask the secretary of state for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is the current level of the bilateral aid to Sri Lanka.

Mrs. Chalker

Total United Kingdom bilateral aid to Sri Lanka was £23.552million in 1989, the latest year for which figures are available, and comprised:

£ million
Capital aid 6.391
Technical co-operation 8.222
Aid and trade provision 4.158
Commonwealth development corporation 3.114
Debt relief 1.589
Disaster relief 0.078

Expenditure is expected to have been substantially less in 1990, due in part to the security situation
