[holding answer 28 November 2005]: The Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) ceased operating in Iraq at the end of June 2004, at which point control of the Development Fund for Iraq (DPI) was transferred to the sovereign Government of Iraq. We continue to encourage the transparent management of public funds by the Iraqi Government.The UK is providing economic technical assistance to the Iraqi Government to improve the transparency and management of public expenditure through reforms to the budget cycle. A team of UK-funded advisers also works closely with the Iraqi Ministry of Finance on essential reforms to the subsidy system which will help to improve transparency in public funds. The UK is also helping to build up the capacity of the Prime Minister's Office, the Iraqi Cabinet Office, the Ministry of Interior, and the southern Provincial Councils. This work is supporting the development of an effective Iraqi civil service which is able to administer public funds in a more accountable way. Earlier this year the National Audit Office hosted a study tour for the Iraqi Supreme Board of Audit to compare current practices. In addition, the UK is encouraging Iraq to sign up to the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative and to the UN Convention for Anti-Corruption.The role of the International Advisory and Monitoring Board (IAMB) is to act as an audit oversight body for DPI. Its purpose is to help ensure that the DPI is used in a transparent manner for the benefit of the people of Iraq and that export sales of petroleum, petroleum products, and natural gas from Iraq are consistent with prevailing international market best practices. IAMB membership includes representatives from the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, UN Secretary General's Office, Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development and Iraq's Ministry of Finance. External audits of the IAMB have been carried out by KPMG, The UK is not directly involved with the IAMB.

Mr. Menzies Campbell: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list the title of research studies, audits and surveys (a) being undertaken and (b) commissioned by his Department for completion within (i) 1999 and (ii) 2000, stating in each case whether and when the results are due to be published. [99674] Mr. Hain: The information requested is not centrally recorded and covers such a wide range of activity that a comprehensive list could be compiled only at disproportionate cost. Research studies commissioned and published in 1999 or intended for publication in 2000 include: 1999 History Notes The Zinoviev Letter Women in Diplomacy Focus International Papers Piracy and Armed Robbery at Sea Bosnia and Herzegovina: Progress Towards Democracy Progress Towards Gender Equality Iraq: Sanctions and the "Oil for Food" Agreement Enlargement of the European Union Burma: 10 Years of Repression The International Criminal Court, Questions and Answers Population and Development NATO's Fiftieth Anniversary Summit Gibraltar: Partnership for Prosperity Kosovo: Chronology, March 1998-March 1999 The Cologne Debt Initiative Britain and China: A Growing Partnership The Exploration and Peaceful Uses of Outer Space Money Laundering East Timor: A Historical Background Britain's Parliamentary Co-operation with Russia 1998 Wilton Park Papers The United Nations in The Twenty-First Century Building Political Stability in Sub-Saharan Africa Diplomacy for the Twenty-First Century: `Re-Crafting The Old Guild' Building Bridges Between Islam and the West Nordic and Baltic Security and Prosperity Challenges to East Asian Security The Search for Peace in the Middle East Europe after Economic and Monetary Union The Continuing threat of Nuclear Proliferation Protecting the Environment and Sustaining Development towards a Green Millennium Current issues in International Diplomacy and Foreign Policy-- Volume I: 1999 Volume II: 2000 2000 Documents on British Policy Overseas Series III, Volume III. In addition, unclassified versions of some of the papers prepared by the FCO's Research Analysts in recent years will be placed on the FCO's website next year. Audits and surveys in 1999 include the regular series of internal audits conducted by the FCO's Internal Audit department in accordance with Treasury requirements. Reports of internal audits are sent to the National Audit Office, but the details are not routinely published because to do so could harm the effective management and operations of the public service.
