Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, which companies and organisations are subcontracted or given grants by the World Bank to carry out projects in Burma funded by British aid.

DFID does not track all companies and organisations subcontracted or given grants by multilateral partners, such as the World Bank. DFID's Development Tracker, on the gov.uk website, and the World Bank's website contain many details about procurement and the flow of funds for individual projects. We also publish, on the gov.uk website, our Statement of Priorities and Expectations for Suppliers which sets expectations for the use of subcontracted organisations.
