HC Deb 31 March 2003 vol 402 c500W
Mr. Ben Chapman

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development if she will make a statement on aid to Cuba. [105497]

Clare Short

We do not have a government-to-government bilateral aid programme to Cuba nor do we have plans to develop one.

Funding for DFID programmes in Cuba in 2001–02 was £346,000 primarily through NGOs.

In addition DFID contributes £1 million as its share of the EC aid programme to Cuba.
