§ 104. Mr. SkinnerTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what information he has as to the level of aid to Nicaragua provided by the Government of Italy; if he will increase the United Kingdom's aid to Nicaragua to that figure; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Chris PattenThe latest figures we have from the development assistance committee are those for 1986. They show that bilateral aid from Italy to Nicaragua amounted to US$13.7 million. We have no plans to increase our aid to Nicaragua.
