HC Deb 19 February 1971 vol 811 cc580-1W
Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether Her Majesty's Government have been asked or offered to provide, and have provided assistance to flood relief in Mozambique; and whether they have invited the British Red Cross or any other organisation to help.

Mr. Kershaw

Her Majesty's Consul-General, Lourenco Marques, was instructed to inquire of the Governor-General of Mozambique whether an offer to the Portuguese Red Cross of assistance in cash would be welcome. The Governor-General was grateful to Her Majesty's Government but indicated that the Portuguese authorities themselves possessed sufficient funds to meet the needs of the situation.
