HC Deb 19 February 1970 vol 796 cc573-4
17. Mr. Hordern

asked the Minister of Overseas Development if she will earmark part of the United Kingdom's official aid programme to the Governments of Kenya and Uganda to those British subjects whose licences to trade in those countries have been withdrawn.

Mrs. Hart

No, Sir.

Mr. Hordern

Does not the right hon. Lady agree that we owe more to British subjects in those countries than to those Governments whose policies have resulted in British subjects being forced out of work? Can we really offer them no assistance in those circumstances?

Mrs. Hart

In so far as any question arises in any country of the relief of British subjects, this is a matter for my right hon. Friend the Foreign and Commonwealth Secretary. I dispute what the hon. Gentleman has implied about our relationships with Kenya.

Mr. Hordern

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. In view of the unsatisfactory nature of the reply, I give notice that I will raise the matter on the Adjournment.
