HC Deb 31 March 1987 vol 113 c456W
Mr. William Shelton

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he has received any representations regarding the Oxfam meeting on 28 February in Friary Hall, Crawley, where it agreed to distribute badges and leaflets throughout the United Kingdom in support of the South West Africa People's Organisation.

Mrs. Chalker

My hon. Friend the Minister for Overseas Development has received representations from three hon. Members about the Oxfam meeting on 28 February.

Mr. William Shelton

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether Her Majesty's Government have held any discussions with the charity Oxfam concerning its activities in Namibia/South West Africa.

Mrs. Chalker

We have exchanged views on the situation in Namibia with Oxfam from time to time. We do not, however, provide funding for Oxfam's activities in Namibia and have not therefore had occasion to discuss those activities in detail with Oxfam.
