HC Deb 19 March 1979 vol 964 c493W
Mr. Lee

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will offer increased military assistance to Zambia in the light of the most recent Rhodesian air raid on Zambian territory.

Mr. Rowlands

The Government deeply deplore any incident which leads to an escalation of the Rhodesian conflict. Our existing programme of military assistance for Zambia, which my right hon. Friend announced to the House on 2 November—[Vol. 957, c. 186.]—is designed to improve that country's defensive capability.
