HC Deb 03 April 1974 vol 871 cc398-9W
Mr. Sproat

asked the Minister of Overseas Development what proposals she has to make available to the Brazilian authorities funds to help relieve the sufferings of victims of the present flood disaster in that country; and if she will make a statement.

Mrs. Hart

I would refer the hon. Member to the Written Answer to the Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Bradford, North (Mr. Ford) given by the Secertary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs today. My right hon. Friend is responsible for emergency relief in such cases and he has sought the advice of the British Ambassador on the Brazilian Government's needs.
