HC Deb 19 September 2002 vol 390 cc424-5W
Mr. Love

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what recent assistance she has given to the Government of Lebanon for the re-building of its infrastucture; and if she will make a statement. [73016]

Clare Short

My Department has a very small bilateral development assistance programme in Lebanon. We contribute to multilateral institutions (including the World Bank, IMF and EC) which are implementing larger programmes in Lebanon. The Government of Lebanon would be able to raise any issue of concern with these institutions directly.
