This list of joint funding scheme--JFS--projects in India is incomplete. Agencies which receive block grants from the joint funding scheme have yet to notify us of all the projects which they are implementing, this year. For example, OXFAM which used joint funding scheme resources for about 200 projects in India has yet to notify us of its allocations for 1991-92. Other agencies are also likely to add to their list of projects financed from JFS resources.

Mrs. Mahon : To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is the current level of aid to Ethiopia ; what was the level in each of the last 10 years at current prices ; and what plans he has to increase the level of aid before 1993.
Mrs. Chalker : In 1991 we have committed over £26 million bilateral emergency assistance to Ethiopia including 79,000 tonnes of food. We expect to continue to respond generously to meet emergency needs. Our development programme for 1991 is worth about £3.5 million. Between 1981 and 1990 the United Kingdom provided bilateral aid--development and emergency assistance--to Ethiopia as follows :
