Jim Dobbin: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what the amount is of the grant entitled "Improving the Health of the Poor: A Human Rights Focus", that her Department plans to make to Peru; if the grant will be used for the provision of population control and abortion; what her response is to the request from the Peruvian Health Minister that the grant should be made through the Peruvian Department of Health; and what account her Department takes of national legislation prohibiting abortion when making overseas aid grants. [87025] Clare Short: The proposed health project in Peru "Improving the Health of the Poor: A Rights-Based Approach" is budgeted at £7.5 million, over five years. The project would support the work of the Ministry of Health, the Ombudsman's office and civil society and has a number of components, one of which relates to reproductive health. The reproductive health component would include support for poor people's rights to access family planning services, education and, if appropriate, post abortion care but not abortion. We have received no formal request that the entire grant be made through the Peruvian Ministry of Health. My Department only considers support for activities to improve the quality, safety and accessibility of abortion services where this is legal in the country concerned, and where it is available as a matter of uncoerced individual choice. In all situations, DFID will consider support for measures to improve access to effective and high quality post-abortion care to deal with the complication of spontaneous or induced abortion. I discussed the project with the President of Peru during his recent visit to London and he was strongly supportive.
