HC Deb 05 July 1979 vol 969 c661W
Mr. Brotherton

asked the Lord Privy Seal what aid is currently being given to the African front-line States; and by how much he proposes to reduce it over the next 12 months.

Mr. Neil Marten

It is estimated that aid disbursements to the African frontline States, which reflect commitments entered into under the previous Government, will total about £60 million in 1979–80. Future levels of aid are still under consideration.
