§ Lord Juddasked Her Majesty's Government:
What is the policy of Her Majesty's Government towards the EC Commission proposal for a special rehabilitation support programme in developing countries and what the outcome of consideration of this proposal by the Development Council has so far been.
§ Baroness Chalker of WallaseyThe EC Development Council on 25th May took note of the Commission proposal for a special rehabilitation support programme. We have a number of reservations on the approach proposed. We believe that the immediate task is to implement the Special Initiative for Africa which the Council endorsed in May.
