HC Deb 14 June 1982 vol 25 cc199-200W
Mr. Michael Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what further obligations the United Kingdom intends to undertake in relation to the African development fund.

Mr. Neil Marten

The boards of governors of the African development bank and fund approved a resolution on 8 May 1982 for the replenishment of the resources of the African development fund in a total of 1,008 million fund units of account—about US $1,059 million. Of that sum, the United Kingdom's share will be 43 million fund units of account, or £24,170,300, for which I shall shortly seek Parliamentary approval.
