HC Deb 26 July 1993 vol 229 c536W
Mr. David Porter

To ask the Secretary of State For Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what proportion of aid to Russia goes in the form of British manufactured goods and how much in direct cash payments; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

We make no direct cash payments to Russia under the British bilateral aid programme; nor do we deliver aid in the form of British manufactured goods. The know-how fund transfers key British skills through technical co-operation projects.
