§ Baroness Masham of Iltonasked Her Majesty's Government:
Further to the Written Answer by Baroness Amos on 13 February (WA 132), whether their statement that they "do not provide assistance to stabilise population growth" is consistent with their funding by unrestricted grants of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), whose September 2000 audit report states that 72 per cent of its 1998–99 programme expenditure was spent on "population management". [HL1839]
§ Baroness AmosThe United Nations Population Fund's programme expenditure is focused on improving reproductive health services in the developing world and not on "stabilising population growth".
