Helen Jones: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what progress is being made in international efforts to combat the drugs
trade. [148785]
Marjorie Mowlam: The UK is active in international forums, including the UN, G8 and EU, to strengthen the global framework for
tackling illicit drugs trafficking. In the year 2000 we were the third largest donor to the United Nations International Drug
Control Programme. Ministers and the UK Anti-Drugs Co-ordinator have also been active in supporting anti-drugs efforts in some of
the countries which have the most serious problems with the production or transit of illegal drugs.
Progress is being seen in increased seizures of heroin and cocaine en-route to the UK/EU, and increased disruption of criminal
groups involved in trafficking.

Dr. Tonge: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the management of
United Nations Drugs Control Programme funds. [148058]
Mr. Battle: We have, with a number of other donors, raised concerns about UNDCP programme management. In light of recent press
reporting on this issue, I wrote to Mr. Arlacchi on 23 January seeking his assurance that UK contributions have been managed
properly and used effectively, and encouraging early progress towards a more transparent system of project management and
evaluation. In his reply of 24 January, Mr. Arlacchi assured me that he had invited a management audit of the UNDCP by the UN Office
of Internal Oversight Services in New York, and that UK funds had been properly managed. In response to requests from donor
countries, Mr. Arlacchi has also produced a paper on management reform which we and other donors are studying.
