HC Deb 23 January 1979 vol 961 c88W
Mr. Faulds

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs why the decision was taken to present an electrocardiographic recorder to the Assaf Harofeh hospital at Sarafand in Israel; and whether this is the normal practice of his Department.

Mr. Judd

Heads of mission in over 100 countries are allowed, within certain limits, to make gifts of British equipment with a developmental or welfare purpose to appropriate institutions. The presentation to the Assaf Harofeh hospital was a case in point.
