HC Deb 09 February 2000 vol 344 c184W
Mr. McNamara

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what procedures she is establishing to consult(a) NGOs and (b) other interested parties before she publishes her proposed White Paper on globalisation. [108979]

Clare Short

We will invite widespread consultations as part of the preparation of the White Paper. This will include establishing a White Paper website on which we will place a brief outline of the paper, and inviting submissions from the public, non-governmental organisations and other interested parties. The consultation process will in particular include developing countries, and international organisations.
