HC Deb 17 March 2004 vol 419 cc373-4W
Annabelle Ewing

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development if he will list the UK-based civil society organisations that received contributions from his Department in 2002. [161404]

Mr. Gareth Thomas

This information is not readily available in respect of calendar years and could be obtained only by incurring a disproportionate cost. However, the list of UK based civil society organisations that DFID has provided funding to in the financial year 2002–03 will be placed in the Libraries of the House of Commons under the title "List of UK Civil Society Organisations Receiving Contributions from DFID (PQ reference 161404)".

In addition, a number of CSOs receive funding direct from our country offices.
