§ Mr. Llew SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for International Development if she will list the British aid schemes currently operating in the former states of the Soviet Union giving assistance to the educational and health care systems; what private or semi-private British aid initiatives are operating in conjunction with these; and if she will make a statement. [71175]
§ Clare ShortWe are operating a wide range of know-how fund projects in the countries of the former Soviet Union in the health and education sectors. I will place a list in the Library of the House. These projects are undertaken with a variety of partners. They are usually implemented on a contractual basis with UK or other organisations. A variety of health care professionals contribute their time for free to our Health Small Partnerships Scheme in Russia and Ukraine.
