HC Deb 18 July 1979 vol 970 cc705-6W
Mr. McElhone

asked the Lord Privy Seal when the balance of the commitment of £10 million of aid to Uganda will be paid.

Mr. Neil Marten

The £1 million grant to assist the immediate rehabilitation of basic services in Uganda was increased to £2 million on 30 May. We are also ready to consider urgent requests for technical co-operation related to rehabilitation. We have said that we intend to resume a broadly based aid programme to Uganda when circumstances permit, but there is no commitment to any particular figure. There are no other commitments.
