Answer: Mr. Campbell-Savours: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development when she will reply to the second report from the International Development Committee, Session 1999-2000 (HC 67) on "The Future of Sanctions"; and if she will make a statement. [111192] Clare Short: I welcome the Committee's report and commend its proposals. We will be considering the conclusions and recommendations carefully and we will produce a detailed response in due course. The Department for International Development (DFID) is already taking action on some of the recommendations. There will be a joint FCO/DFID mission, probably in the last week of March, to the UN to explore how the UN Secretariat can be assisted in offering better advice to the Security Council on the design and implementation of sanctions, and what role the UK may play in this.
