Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How much they have spent in the last two years in southern Africa on the prevention of sexually transmitted infections.

Lord Chesham

We spent £1.2 million in 1993/94 and £3.9 million in 1994/95 through the bilateral aid programme on projects in southern Africa whose objectives include the prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted infections.

In addition, we have provided £6.1 million in 1993/94 and £3.9 million in 1994/95 to the World Health Organisation Global Programme on AIDS, a proportion of which was used on HIV/AIDS prevention activities in southern Africa.
