HC Deb 07 November 1973 vol 863 c165W
Mr. Whitehead

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what contribution has been made by Her Majesty's Government to alleviate the current famine in Wollo Province, Ethiopia.

Mr. Wood

I refer the hon. Gentleman to the reply I gave on 2nd November to the hon. Member for Portsmouth, West (Mr. Judd)—[Vol. 863, c.17–18.] The food-for-work programme to which Her Majesty's Government are contributing is in Tigre Province, but all other supplies are intended for distribution throughout both the provinces suffering from the famine, Tigre and Wollo.
