HC Deb 23 May 1995 vol 260 cc514-5W
Ms Glenda Jackson

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what additional bilateral aid will be provided to meet the goals set at the 1990 world summit for children, to reduce(a) infant mortality rates and (b) under-five mortality rates, by one third by 2000. [25089]

Mr. Baldry

[holding answer 22 May 1995]: We are increasing our support for reproductive health programmes, which will enable children and women to enjoy better health through improved child spacing, safer childbirth, and improved access to other essential health care. We expect to commit, over the years 1994 and 1995, at least £100 million for these purposes and in support of other reproductive health goals.
