9.   We have given further consideration to the following on the basis of a letter from the Minister. We maintain our opinion[20] that it raises questions of political importance, but now make no recommendation for its further consideration:--

Overseas Development Administration

Legal base: Article 9(1) of the MEDA Regulation (1488/96); qualified majority voting.

      9.1  We reported on this proposal on 6 November, and asked the Government to provide further information on the progress of negotiations. We have now received a letter, dated 18 November, from the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Dr Fox) providing that information. We shall be reporting on the substance of this letter in our next Report, but we are now clearing the document.
