HC Deb 05 November 1986 vol 103 cc435-6W
Sir Peter Mills

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what further aid he will give to Uganda in the form of medicines.

Mr. Chris Patten

Between 1981 and the end of this financial year we will have spent £200,000 on the transportation of medical supplies to Uganda. These have been provided by manufacturers at little or no cost. We are considering a request for continued support of this kind.

Sir Peter Mills

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what further aid he will give to Uganda in the form of Land Rovers for the police force.

Mr. Chris Patten

26 Land Rovers for the Uganda police force, being provided under the British aid programme for Uganda, have been shipped in the past two weeks. A further 16 Land Rovers are due to be shipped before the end of November. Any request for further Land Rovers for the Uganda police force will be considered after the present vehicles have been in operation for a period.
