Question
My Lords, can the Minister confirm that the Department for International Development has a lot of experience of conflict resolution and that it is already active without waiting for free elections to the constituent assembly?
Answer

My Lords, I can certainly confirm that. My right honourable friend the Secretary of State for International Development is currently considering, with other donors and United Kingdom government departments, how to respond to the new position. Consideration is being given to financial and technical support for the peace process through the interdepartmental Global Conflict Prevention Pool. The total planned bilateral DfID assistance for 2006–07 is £30 million.
