§ Mr. Tom ClarkeTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs (1) if he will define the precise standing of spending on central and eastern European projects within the provisions of the Overseas Development Administration budget; and for what reasons central and eastern Europe are not included in the statistical appendix of the publication "British Overseas Aid—the 1991 Review";
(2) if he will include a direct comparison between British overseas aid spending and the spending of other OECD Development Assistance Committee members in GDP percentage terms in future editions of the British overseas aid annual review.
§ Mrs. ChalkerThe programme of assistance to central and eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union is additional to, and separate from, the official United Kingdom aid programme for developing countries. The statistical appendix in the publication "British Overseas Aid—1991 Review" is concerned only with aid to and for the benefit of developing countries. The format of the next edition of the annual review is currently under discussion.
