Vote 27 - International Co-operation
Vote 28 - Foreign Affairs and Trade (11 Oct 2012)

Olivia Mitchell: I am having a little difficulty getting my head around the matter. After a quick perusal, it seems that if changes were made in respect of programme A, it would seriously impair our engagement with Asia. Change in respect of the second programme would have serious consequences for recipient organisations. In respect of programme C, the funds are already oversubscribed. With regard to the...
