§ Mr. DunnachieTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make it his policy to protect the real overseas aid increases announced by Her Majesty's Government last autumn; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydThe future level of the aid programme is being considered, with other public expenditure programmes, in this year's public expenditure survey. I cannot anticipate the outcome of the survey. The Government remain committed to a substantial and effective overseas aid programme.
