Baroness Chapman of Darlington (Lab)
All our allies and partners take positions; sometimes they are different, and we sometimes take different approaches to these issues. But our position is very clear: we will be consistent with the agreement that was entered into. We take seriously our duty to stick to those principles.
Lord Purvis of Tweed (LD)
My Lords, in recent years, a key part of UK support for the type of capacity building of civil and community organisations referenced by the noble and gallant Lord and my noble friend has been through the Western Balkans Democracy Initiative, which has been funded by development assistance. Can the Minister assure the House that this support will continue?
Baroness Chapman of Darlington (Lab)
We have recently published our allocations for development assistance. Off the top of my head, I cannot remember what decision was made on that specific programme, but I am sure that that information is publicly available. If it is not, I will make sure that the noble Lord gets it.
