Mr. Colvin: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what estimate she has made of the number of United Kingdomjobs dependent on the link between trade and overseas aid. [7569]Clare Short: Information is not available in the form requested. Development assistance helps to support jobs in the United Kingdomin several ways. Its key contribution is promoting economic growth in poorer countries. One in five UK exports goes to suchcountries. Some of the development assistance provided by donors offers procurement opportunities to competitive UK companies.
