§ Mr. FaberTo ask the Secretary of State for International Development how much bilateral aid the United Kingdom plans to provide to Zimbabwe in the current year; and what percentage of the total United Kingdom aid budget that represents. [19208]
§ Mr. FoulkesWe estimate that direct bilateral expenditure on current aid projets in Zimbabwe, including ATP projects, will be around £13 million during the financial year 1997–98. This would represent approximately 0.6 per cent. of the total multilateral and bilateral aid budget. The final aid expenditure figures will be published in British Aid Statistics next year.
