HC Deb 26 July 1978 vol 954 c830W
Mr. Lee

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what percentage of the British aid funds provided for the resettlement of British farmers in Kenya has now been disbursed; and how many farmers have been bought out under the provisions of this scheme.

Mrs. Hart

I have been asked to reply.

About 81 per cent. of the £38.325 million made available by the United Kingdom to the independent Government of Kenya for the purchase of farms owned by British citizens has now been spent, and about 1,400 farms have been bought.
