HC Deb 06 April 1981 vol 2 c179W
Mr. Hooley

asked the Lord Privy Seal what assistance by way of food or money has been offered by the United Kingdom and the European Economic Community to the People's Republic of China to help alleviate the famine in parts of that country caused by natural disasters.

Mr. Neil Marten

The Community is offering 8,000 tonnes of rapeseed oil and 2,000 tonnes of dried skimmed milk. The Government have no plans at present to make a bilateral contribution. A formal appeal has only just been launched.
