HC Deb 29 October 1975 vol 898 c527W
55. Mr. Rifkind

asked the Minister for Overseas Development what decisions he has made with regard to the giving of financial aid by the British Government to the Government of Mozambique to enable them to implement United Nations sanctions against Rhodesia.

Mr. Prentice

None, as no detailed discussions with the Government of Mozambique about future British development aid have yet taken place.

Mr. Lawrence

asked the Minister for Overseas Development what aid Great Britain has given to Mozambique in each of the past five years; and for what specific purposes that sum has been given.

Mr. Prentice

None until 1975. This year we have committed £300,000 to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees for relief work and approximately £20,000 for the supply of four specially equipped landrovers for rural medical work. We expect that these sums will be fully disbursed before 31st March 1976.
