To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what proportion of the multilateral overseas development budget has been directed through(a) the European Union and (b) each of the UN multilateral agencies in each year between 1992 and 1995. [16396]

Mr. Hanley

In 1994–95 54 per cent. of ODA's multilateral contributions were directed through the European Community programme, and 9 per cent. through UN agencies. More detailed information is set out in table 8 of "British Aid Statistics", 1990–91 to 1994–95, a copy of which is available in the Library.
