HC Deb 12 December 1988 vol 143 c430W
92. Mr. Wells

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what development assistance he is giving in support of Senegal's economic reform programme.

Mr. Chris Patten

During the state visit of President Diouf last month my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister offered a grant of £2 million. The grant is in the form of balance of payments finance in support of Senegal's continuing IMF-backed economic reform programme. It is in addition to our ongoing technical co-operation programme.
