HC Deb 04 April 1990 vol 170 c699W
25. Mr. Vaz

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assistance he intends to give to south Asian countries in their attempt to curb the international drugs trade.

Mr. Sainsbury

South Asia, as the principal source of heroin reaching the United Kingdom, is a priority area for our drugs-related assistance. We are currently funding large-scale, drugs-related projects, in both Pakistan and India, managed by the United Nations fund for drug abuse control.
