Since 2003, the UK has pledged £744 million for reconstruction and development for Iraq. This includes contributions from DfID, the FCO, the MoD, the Global Conflict Prevention Pool (GCPP), and the UK's share of EC funding. The UK has already disbursed more than £600 million.
Of this total, DfID has disbursed more than £125 million for humanitarian activities which has been channelled through internationally mandated organisations such as the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the UN High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) and the International Organisation for Migration (IOM). Of this, we have made the following disbursements since 2003, specifically for refugees and displaced people:
DfID continues to support the UN and other humanitarian agencies to assist internally and externally displaced persons in Iraq. So far this year, we have contributed £10 million to support humanitarian agencies working in Iraq and the region.

Practical details of the initiative are currently being worked on by DfID officials, the co-chairs of the fund and stakeholders in the Congo basin region. NGOs and officials in other HMG departments (Defra, FCO, HMT) are being kept informed of progress.
Two co-chairs, Professor Wangari Maathai, former winner of the Nobel Peace Prize and Congo Forest Goodwill Ambassador, and the right honourable Paul Martin, Canada's former Prime Minister and Finance Minister, have been selected. They will help develop a clear governance framework to ensure that the fund has strong African ownership.
Decisions on fund policies and on where and how to allocate resources will be taken by the steering board during the design phase. The steering board is likely to include the two co-chairs, as well as two DfID officials, two representatives from the Central Africa Forests Commission (COMIFAC) secretariat, environmental NGO representatives, as well as African Development Bank and World Bank representatives.
There have also been technical working sessions with the officials of the COMIFAC secretariat based in Cameroon to determine which specific components of COMIFAC's convergence plan the fund will support.
The fund is due to start operating in April 2008.

On 19 June, DfID announced a contribution of £1 million to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) for immediate humanitarian needs. The ICRC has delivered medical supplies, repatriated bodies, evacuated medical cases, and supported the Palestinian Red Crescent to deliver blood supplies. It has also assisted the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) to deliver basic food supplies to the affected population.
UNRWA is continuing to provide emergency food assistance to 850,000 Gaza refugees, along with other essential services. It is also supporting the 250 people trapped at the Erez crossing. One hundred and four UNRWA containers await transit through the Karni crossing. DfID gave £15.6 million through UNRWA in April this year.
On 19 June, the World Food Programme (WFP) brought in seven truckloads of food, and the World Health Organisation (together with ICRC), brought in three truckloads of medical supplies. WFP hopes to move 10 truckloads per day.
Through the temporary international mechanism (TIM), the European Union is continuing to fund fuel for Gaza’s power station, enabling the continued operation of water, sanitation and health services. It is also paying allowances for government workers. DfID has given £15 million through the TIM so far.
The European Commission's Humanitarian Office (ECHO) is funding major UN agencies. Its programme includes €9.8 million for the World Health Organisation, €6 million for UNRWA’s food programme in Gaza, and €9 million to WFP. In addition to ECHO’s yearly contribution to UNRWA, it will also be making a further contribution to UNRWA’s food aid programme.

My Lords, my understanding is that the rate of over-rides in this House is about 6 per cent. It is not always possible to synchronise the Westminster and Brussels timetables, particularly where you have fast-moving instruments. I understand from being briefed on the Question that 25 per cent of recent over-rides have been in the area of common foreign and security policy and that 20 per cent occurred during the parliamentary Recess. The Government are in constant discussion with the chairs of the European Union Committee and its sub-committees, because it is important that the process works not only for Parliament but also for the Government.

My Lords, does not a 7 per cent rate of over-ride perhaps indicate that we are not being as effective as we might be, or that the Government are not being as co-operative as they might be, in making sure that we give proper scrutiny to European legislation? If that is not so and these over-rides are justified, might we ask committee chairmen to say so in their reports, rather than leaving us to speculate that we are falling down on the job?

My Lords, I entirely agree with the noble Lord, Lord Grenfell, that the system is much more transparent and that there is greater accountability. I think that the publication of individual departments helps the process. It also helps that individual departments plan more appropriately than they have in the past. However, I also agree with the noble Lord that there are occasions when over-rides will happen.

My Lords, I think that I heard my name mentioned a moment ago. Does the noble Baroness agree that, since the Cabinet Office decided about two and a half years ago to publish which department was responsible for each over-ride, the figures show that the so-called naming and shaming has occasioned a downward trend in the number of over-rides, which is very satisfactory? Does she accept that there are occasions when it is perfectly understandable why there should be an over-ride, because individual Council formations have a habit of changing their programmes and timetables and sometimes it is not possible to meet them? Does she further agree that the fact that the European Union Committee publishes in its annual report a full list of the over-rides and the reason for them has made the whole system much more transparent?

My Lords, I am pleased to report to the House that the European Union Committee and the Government see this as a joint responsibility. For example, the committee has acknowledged that it has a responsibility to help to prevent unnecessary over-rides in the way in which it manages its work. It has also accepted that there have been difficulties when Parliament is in recess. Noble Lords will know that in this House the noble Lord, Lord Grenfell, does a sift during the Recess precisely to prevent that kind of thing from happening. So it is a joint responsibility between the committee and the Government; it is not a one-way street.

My Lords, does the Leader of the House agree that every time the Government sign up to something in Brussels while it is still under scrutiny by a Select Committee, they are asserting that it is more important to stick to a timetable set in Brussels than to honour their undertakings to this House? That is what we are really talking about. Of the 22 over-rides that took place when Britain had the presidency and some control over the agenda, how many related to matters that were urgent and brooked no delay? If they were not urgent, why did Britain proceed with them?

Malnutrition remains a formidable development challenge, with an estimated 824 million people in the developing world affected by chronic hunger in 2003. Every day 25,000 people die of hunger, and over half of the 10 million child deaths that occur each year are of children who are underweight in childbirth.
DfID supports global and national assessment processes such as those conducted by the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO), the World Food Programme (WFP) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF); it does not try to replicate them.
We are not aware of any work that has been conducted to determine whether any of the deaths caused by malnutrition and related causes can be directly attributed to the European Union common agricultural policy (CAP). CAP subsidies have led to overproduction of agricultural commodities, and these have distorted developing country markets. This is one of the reasons that the UK Government are a strong supporter of CAP reform. We want to see significant reductions in trade-distorting subsidies for agricultural products, which would enable developing countries to compete more effectively on international markets and to capture the gains from trade that could help to reduce poverty and malnourishment.
