§ Mrs. ClwydTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs in what ways Her Majesty's Government's policy of linking aid and good government has been applied to Malawi.
§ Mrs. ChalkerI refer the hon. Lady to the answers to the hon. Member for Roxburgh and Berwickshire (Mr. 621W Kirkwood), on 14 February 1992, at column 649; and on 2 March 1992, to my right hon. Friend the Member for Westmorland and Lonsdale (Mr. Jopling), at column 2.
As my right hon. and noble Friend, the Earl of Caithness said in another place on 20 November 1991, we have already cut our programme aid to Malawi from £10 million to £5 million because of lack of progress on human rights and good government. The Malawi Government are aware that we will place increasing emphasis on adherence to these principles in determining future aid levels.
