§ Mr. MeacherTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will bring the Overseas Development Administration's environmental impact assessment procedures in line with those used by the Commonwealth Development Corporation.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydAll projects under consideration for ODA funding are subjected to assessment for environmental impact, guided by ODA's detailed and comprehensive manual of environmental appraisal. The Commonwealth Development Corporation is currently reviewing its own guidelines on environmental policies and procedures. The 179W ODA will ensure through discussion with the CDC that its revised guidelines are consistent with ODA policies and procedures in this area.
