§ 8. Mr. Evelyn Kingasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations have been made by Her Majesty's Government to the Tanzanian Government in respect of the British farmer, Mr. Lundgren, who was recently informed at 48 hours' notice that his property had been confiscated without compensation.
§ Mr. KershawWe have taken, and shall continue to take, all necessary steps to impress upon the Tanzanian Government the need to provide Mr. Lundgren with adequate compensation.
§ 42. Mr. Juddasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will make a statement on representations by Her Majesty's Government to the World Bank concerning World Bank activities in Tanzania.
§ 54. Mr. Meacherasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs why he sought to prevent the World Bank from making a £4.3 million loan through its International Development Association for a tea development programme in Tanzania.
§ Mr. KershawThe World Bank postponed consideration of this development credit after we represented to it that its approval now would be inconsistent with its own lending policies. This is because of the Tanzanian Government's failure so far to provide adequate compensation to United Kingdom nationals whose property has been expropriated.
§ Mr. Strangasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the Government's decision to oppose the application by the Tanzanian Government to the World Bank for assistance with a peasant tea project.
§ Mr. KershawI would refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave earlier today to the hon. Members for Ports-2W mouth, West (Mr. Judd) and Oldham, West (Mr. Meacher).
