HC Deb 22 June 1982 vol 26 c69W
Mr. Canavan

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if Her Majesty's Government have any plans to help the sugar industries of the Lomé countries of the Caribbean by granting overseas aid, in view of the serious effects to their exports caused by the present sugar policy of the United States of America.

The Governments of those countries will no doubt consider the need for such assistance along with other requests for aid and according to the priorities they wish to accord them.
