HC Deb 14 February 1980 vol 978 c736W
Mr. McElhone

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he proposes increases in the bilateral programme to Zaire, or in a United Kingdom contribution to multilateral assistance to Zaire.

Mr. Neil Marten

Her Majesty's Government will honour the pledge, first made in 1978, of £2 million as a contribution in support of the multilateral effort to assist in the rehabilitation of the Zaire economy.

Beyond that, however, the general question of aid levels for future years, including aid for Zaire, is still under consideration.
