HC Deb 12 June 1996 vol 279 c156W
Miss Lestor

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what proportion of the overseas development assistance budget is spent on projects and programmes which are primarily designed to meet the objective of the promotion of democracy and good governance. [32470]

Mr. Hanley

ODA bilateral assistance in 1994–95 totalled £1,120 million. Our policy information marker system covered £624.5 million, of which £164.3 million or 26 per cent. was spent on projects and programmes where good government was either a principal or significant objective. We are not able to disaggregate our multilateral contributions to identify expenditure on good government.
