HC Deb 02 December 1999 vol 340 c298W
Ms McCafferty

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what assessment she has made of the impact on the provision of(a) DFID and (b) joint DFID/US funded overseas family planning projects of the US Administration's decision to prohibit funding of foreign non-Governmental organisations which take part in public discussions on abortion in their own countries.

Mr. Foulkes

The US Administration's decision makes no difference to the commitment of this Government to helping poor people access good quality family planning and reproductive health services. It will not have a significant impact on jointly funded programmes.
