To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much of the increased aid pledged by EU member states will be delivered (a) bilaterally, (b) via the EU, (c) via the World Bank, (d) via the UN AIDS Fund and (e) via other multilateral agencies; and if he will make a statement.
The EU member states made an historic commitment last month to double aid by 2010. Taking account of faster timetables towards the UN target of 0.7 per cent. ODA/GNI, EU aid will double from $40 billion in 2004 to $80 billion in 2010. It will be for individual member states to decide how the increased aid will be allocated.
