§ Mr. BattleTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how much in cash terms and constant prices the Government spent in 1980, 1990, 1991 and 1992 on international environmental protection.
§ Mr. Lennox BoydFigures are not available for 1980 and 1990. Preliminary data derived from a pilot statistical analysis of bilateral projects show that expenditure on projects that had environmental protection as an objective was £108 million in 1991–92 and £124 million in 1992–93, in cash terms. In constant 1992–93 prices, this represents £112 million and £124 million respectively.
The analysis covers approximately 57 per cent. of all bilateral expenditure. It does not include multilateral aid.
