§ Miss LestorTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what provision he plans to make for input by UN agencies to the Overseas Development Administration's country strategy papers. [16404]
§ Mr. HanleyIn drawing up country strategy papers, ODA consults outside bodies including UN agencies where appropriate.
