HC Deb 06 July 1978 vol 953 cc288-9W
Mr. Henderson

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will publish in the Official Report the number of full-time fishermen in England and Wales by port at 1st June 1978 and in each of the last five years.

Mr. Bishop

I regret that the information is not available in the form requested. The estimates available are as follows:

tively to ensure that no British aid funds to the Organisation of African Unity or any of its member States are included, directly or indirectly, in the financial support being given by that body to organisations engaged in the perpetration of acts of terrorism against the civilian population in Rhodesia, Namibia and South Africa.

Mrs. Hart

Yes. United Kingdom aid to the OAU consists only of small amounts of technical co-operation: we provided two agronomists in recent years, and have agreed to provide four experts in food grains research and development. Aid to its member States is subject to normal checks and controls. We are satisfied that our procedures are effective in preventing the diversion of United Kingdom aid from the OAU or its member States to other organisations.
