HC Deb 07 July 1977 vol 934 cc615-6W
Mr. Greville Janner

asked the Minister of Overseas Development what information she has received from the Crown Agents concerning the sending of supplies to Uganda for the use of the armed forces or police.

Mrs. Hart

I understand from the Chairman of the Crown Agents that they have received no recent orders from Uganda for the armed forces or police. They are, however, in course of completing an order for vehicles which was placed in 1974. The remaining 38 trucks and two Land Rovers are now ready for shipment. The Crown Agents' legal advice is that these vehicles are already the property of the Ugandan Government, and shipment must, therefore, proceed.

Mr. Greville Janner

asked the Minister of Overseas Development whether she will list the types of goods supplied by the Crown Agents to Uganda.

Mrs. Hart

I understand from the Chairman of the Crown Agents that within the last year these have consisted of educational and medical supplies and spare parts; public works equipment and spare parts; and vehicles to which I referred in my answer to my hon. and learned Friend's other Question today.
