HC Deb 20 November 1979 vol 974 c126W
Miss Joan Lestor

asked the Lord Privy Seal what representations he has received about his decision to end the programme of assistance through voluntary agencies to Chile.

Mr. Ridley

Representations have been made by the charities concerned: CAFOD, Christian Aid and Oxfam. They have asked if a smaller sum could be provided than they orginally requested, but have been told that financial constraints do not allow this.
