HL Deb 10 June 1981 vol 421 c310WA
Lord Brockway

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What were the conclusions of the meeting of the United Nations Food Council in Yugoslavia; whether the United Kingdom was represented and, if so, what was the attitude of its delegation to the proposal that food aid should be raised to the level of 10 million tonnes a year.

Lord Carrington

At the ministerial session of the World Food Council my honourable friend the Minister for Overseas Development, who led the British delegation, said that we hoped to see the life of the Food Aid Convention extended and its membership enlarged by new donors. I am placing copies of the full conclusions of the meeting, and of what my honourable friend said, in the Library.

House adjourned at seventeen minutes before ten o'clock.
