HC Deb 11 March 1976 vol 907 cc299-300W
Mr. Blaker

asked the Minister of Overseas Development how much British aid has been given to Zambia in each of the last 10 years; and how much of this was specifically related to the imposition of sanctions against Rhodesia.

Mr. Prentice

I regret that it has not proved possible in the time available to provide all the information requested. I will, however, publish it in theOfficial Report at the earliest possible moment.

Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Minister of Overseas Development how much aid the United Kingdom will contribute to the Commonwealth Sanction Committee for economic assistance to Mozambique.

Mr. Prentice

I refer the hon. Member to the replies that I have given to the hon. Member for Stretford (Mr. Churchill) on 8th March and to the hon. Member for Staffordshire, South-West (Mr. Cormack) earlier today.—[Vol. 907, c. 31.]

Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Minister for Overseas Development for what purpose the aid recently approved by the Commonwealth Sanctions Committee for Mozambique was given.

Mr. Prentice

The Commonwealth Sanctions Committee recommended that Commonwealth Governments should react urgently to the decision of the Mozambique Government to impose sanctions against Rhodesia by providing immediate financial assistance in either bilateral or multilateral form. The Commonwealth Governments will take their own decisions on the amounts and form of such assistance.
