answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2014 answer text <p>The ultimate task of UK aid is to support a country in establishing its own mechanisms for a timely, self-financed and secure exit from poverty. Accordingly, countries are eligible for direct bilateral aid if extreme poverty currently affects a significant proportion of the population and is projected to persist over the medium term, the country is unable to finance the reduction of poverty through domestic taxation, and the country meets basic requirements of legitimacy for a bilateral aid programme to operate.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency New Forest West answering member printed Mr Desmond Swayne question first answered 21/10/2014 15:15:21 answering member 55 label Biography information for Sir Desmond Swayne

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2014 answer text <p>The sanctions have been designed to have the maximum impact on the actions of the Russian leadership while minimising the impact on the UK and EU. There will be a cost to the EU's economy, but there is a greater cost involved in not standing up to Russia's aggression. The Government has been clear that any pain as a result of economic sanctions should be shared equally across the EU.</p><p> </p><p>Due to the recent nature of the implementation of the sanctions Treasury officials are still in the process of analysing the initial data; it is a work in progress and not yet ready for public use.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 21/10/2014 09:10:18 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/10/2014 answer text <p>The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) has only one private finance initiative liability. This is in relation to the British Embassy in Berlin. The FCO Berlin Private Finance Initiative (PFI) liability (the Unitary Payment) expires in June 2030. The Unitary Payment under the PFI agreement is annually indexed using an agreed index formula. The value of the PFI is commercially sensitive, as the release of such information would likely be commercially disadvantageous to the FCO when tendering future contracts as part of the initiative.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 20/10/2014 16:31:53 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington
