HC Deb 18 June 1993 vol 226 cc740-1W
Mr. Win Griffiths

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list the United Kingdom-based non-governmental organisations assisting street children which are receiving funds from his Department in the current year, together with the amount of funding.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Complete information is not yet available for the current year. However, in 1992–93 we supported, through the joint funding scheme, the following NGOs specifically to assist street children:

Non-governmental organisation £
Childhope 34,759
National Children's Home 33,176
World Vision 117,333
CAFOD 13,210
Oxfam 17,552

Mr. Win Griffiths

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what was the total United Kingdom bilateral disbursement for aid to street children in 1991 and 1992; how much was spent in each country receiving this help; and what are the planned contributions, by country, for 1993.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

We help street children through a number of specific activities but, more significantly, by integrating their needs into projects with a wider poverty focus. Information about the location and costs of all projects where street children may be among the beneficiaries could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
