HC Deb 24 May 1982 vol 24 c247W
Mr. Proctor

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how much money will be paid by the United Kingdom to the Republic of Zimbabwe in 1982–83.

Mr. Neil Marten

Britain has pledged a total of £144 million to the Zimbabwe Government, of which £112 million is development assistance, £22 million is waiver of official pre-independence debt and £10 million is military assistance.

Actual expenditure in 1981–82 was £20 million. Expenditure in the current financial year will depend on the rate at which programmes move forward and claims are submitted by the Zimbabwe Government.
