HC Deb 24 June 1997 vol 296 cc465-6W
Mr. Nigel Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development if she will list the projects supported by Britain in Malawi in each of the last five years; and if she will make a statement on aid to Malawi. [5016]

Mr. Foulkes

I am placing in the Library of the House a list of projects supported under the bilateral aid programme to Malawi between 1992–93 and 1996–97. A Country Aid Policy Statement for Malawi was produced in 1995. In 1995 Britain provided to Malawi about £30 million in bilateral aid and £8 million through the European Community. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for International Development has recently approved £15 million in programme aid to help Malawi pay teachers' salaries.
