HL Deb 18 May 2000 vol 613 c29WA
Lord Ahmed

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Which British and foreign non-governmental organisations, which are active in Pakistan, India and Kashmir, received funding directly or indirectly from the British Government in the fiscal years 1997–98 and 1998–99; and whether they will provide details of the funding provided by each organisation. [HL2307]

Baroness Amos

The Department for International Development (DFID) is currently supporting in excess of 70 projects, implemented through British non-governmental organisations, in Pakistan and India. It would be difficult to delineate in the way requested because we are not funding any projects specific to Kashmir. We will place a list of these organisations in the Library of the House.
