HL Deb 22 February 1999 vol 597 c100WA
Baroness Rawlings

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What are the cash plans allocations for 1998–99 bilateral aid for East Africa, India and Eastern Europe. [HL1114]

Baroness Amos

The budget allocations agreed at the outset of 1998–99 were: East Africa £118 million; India £99 million; and Central and Eastern Europe £79 million. These are planning figures. In order to meet policy commitments and changes in external circumstances, actual spending will vary from the planning figures, sometimes significantly. The 1999 departmental report (due to be published in March 1999) will provide estimates of outturn in 1998–1999.
