HC Deb 16 June 1992 vol 209 c452W
Mr. Dafis

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how much is currently allocated by the Overseas Development Administration to provide more efficient domestic stoves, household lighting and cooling/refrigeration processes in lower-income countries.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The Overseas Development Administration does not keep records in a form which classifies financial allocations across the aid programme in these categories. Within our allocations for research work £360,000 is committed to examining the more efficient design, production and marketing of domestic stoves.

Mr. Dafis

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what level of capital and technical assistance is granted by his Department to lower-income countries to develop training in designing energy efficient systems for use in homes, offices, agriculture and industry.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The Overseas Development Administration does not keep records in a form which enables spending to be identified by the categories requested.
