§ Miss LestorTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list the projects funded, and the sums allocated, by the £34.5 million returned to the aid budget in 1994–95 in recompense for the illegal use of the money to fund the Pergau dam and three other aid for trade provision projects. [18211]
§ Mr. BaldrySpending on these four projects for 1994–95 was estimated to be £32.016 million. This was allocated as part of a wider reallocation of resources at the time of the spring supplementary estimate. The availability of these funds effectively allowed:
- i. further spending on country programmes (£13.825 million)—principally for additional programme aid for Malawi, mine clearance in Cambodia and a range of know how fund projects in eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union;
- ii. additional spending on emergency and refugee relief (£12.191 million)—principally of work in Bosnia, Rwanda and Chechyna; and
- iii. additional funding (£6 million)—principally for research and primary health care work in developing countries through the WHO and other international health organisations.
