§ Ms Oona KingTo ask the Secretary of State for International Development what percentage of United Kingdom overseas development assistance given to Sudan has been for(a) long-term development, (b) short-term relief and (c) disaster preparedness in each year since 1992. [45988]
§ Clare ShortThe table shows our assistance to Sudan between 1992–93 and 1996–97. Our long-term bilateral development aid programme (excluding the Joint Funding Scheme and other small grant schemes) was terminated in 1991. Since then no new financial aid has been provided. Projects supported under our relief and rehabilitation assistance include both immediate relief and work on disaster preparedness; there is no separate figure for the latter.
