§ Mr. MeacherTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list those countries, for each of the last 10 years, where International Monetary Fund conditionality has been imposed for receipt of United Kingdom unilateral aid.
§ Mr. Lennox-Boyd[holding answer 11 January 1993]: It is not possible to list all those occasions on which individual British aid commitments were made in association with International Monetary Fund reform programmes. But British balance of payments aid is usually provided only to countries that have programmes of structural adjustment agreed with the International Monetary Fund and the World bank in place. In doing so, we often act in concert with other donors. The objective is to enable recipients to purchase urgently needed imports to sustain or improve production and assist economic recovery. Commitments of such aid in each of the last 10 years for which figures are available were made to the following countries:
