Lord Ashcroft
Conservative
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Northover on 15 November (WA 139), which countries that have or are developing nuclear weapons are receiving aid from the United Kingdom.
Baroness Northover
Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip), Lords Spokesperson (Department for International Development)
There is no recognised list of countries developing nuclear weapons, but to the best of our knowledge DfID does not operate bilateral aid programmes in any country developing nuclear weapons. The countries which the UK spends aid on are listed in the Statistics for International Development (SID) 2011, available at www.dfid.gov.uk.
