HC Deb 21 June 1982 vol 26 c5W
38. Mr. Deakins

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will take steps to increase United Kingdom aid to Nicaragua.

Mr. Neil Marten

We have no plans to increase our aid programme to Nicaragua. We are, however, providing £20,000 to the League of Red Cross Societies in response to appeals for disaster relief following the recent floods in Nicaragua.
