§ Clare ShortIn October 1998 I placed a copy of our Country Strategy Paper for Mozambique in the Library of the House. This describes how we will increase our programme to support the Government of Mozambique's strong commitment to reduce poverty. We are expanding our support for economic and financial management, rural livelihoods, and health and education. We are strong supporters of Highly Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) debt relief for Mozambique.
