Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how the Overseas Development Administration's spending on population and reproductive health spending has changed in cash and constant price terms in the past five years.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Spending on population and reproductive health activities is estimated at some £32 million in 1993, compared with just over £17 million in 1989; this represents an 83 per cent. increase in cash terms and nearly a 50 per cent. increase in constant price terms.
