HC Deb 26 November 1979 vol 974 cc420-1W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Lord Privy Seal how much British aid is included in the "Food for Peace" programme.

Mr. Hurd

None.

Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Lord Privy Seal how much of the total "Food for Peace" programme was accounted for by tobacco; what proportion of British aid was for tobacco.

Mr. Hurd

"Food for Peace" is an American programme and no information is available to me as to the total accounted for by tobacco. The question of British aid does not arise.

Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Lord Privy Seal which countries were the recipients of aid under the "Food for Peace" programme.

Mr. Hurd

I understand that this is a programme of the United States Government.
