HL Deb 20 November 1984 vol 457 c568WA
Lord Jenkins of Putney

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will support the provision in Northern Ethiopia and Eritrea of emergency resources, adequate relief supplies and transport from United Kingdom and EEC sources; and whether they will support the establishment of an independent commission to supervise the passage of relief convoys to those famine areas.

Baroness Young

Yes; but I do not think an independent commission would be useful.
