Will the Minister confirm that the major sources of population growth in the south of England are migration to the south-east from London and increased longevity? In relation to the second group, what steps are being taken to make sure that new house building in the south takes account of the needs of the elderly population?

My hon. Friend is exactly right. We need to take account of an ageing and growing population. If we do not do so, in 20 years' time, 70 per cent. of 30-year-old couples who are first-time buyers will not be able to afford their own home. That is the consequence of sticking with existing rates of house building, which is the approach taken by the Opposition. Their leader may say all those nice things about not campaigning on immigration—

Dr. Starkey: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what discussions his Department has had with the Department for
International Development on policies to support the rural economy in Kosovo to help reduce the pressure of economic migration to
(a) the UK and (b) other countries in the European Union. [5283]
Angela Eagle: Our Departments have engaged in extensive discussion on all aspects of the Kosovo crisis. In 1999-2000 the United
Kingdom committed £110 million to humanitarian assistance, including support to Kosovan refugees in neighbouring countries. In
January 2000 it was agreed the UK would commit a further £5 million a year to a longer-term programme of technical assistance,
including mine clearance and improvements to community infrastructure. We also participate in the work of the European Commission,
which focuses on helping to restart the rural community, including by providing agricultural inputs and audits for farmers and other
rural workers.
The aim of the Government's engagement in the Balkans is to promote peace and stability and alleviate poverty in the region.
Providing stability and economic opportunities for the people of Kosovo is an essential pre-requisite to reducing emigration
pressures.
