To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what aid has been given to Bangladesh in the last six months.

Mrs. Chalker

The most recent figures available for British aid to Bangladesh are for the financial year 1989–90 when £52.8 million was disbursed. Within the last six months, our assistance has also included an additional £11.85 million to help the Bangladesh people cope with the effects of the recent cyclone.
