§ 66. Mr. Altonasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will institute a 44W scheme to relieve the financial hardship faced by Ugandan students in the United Kingdom due to the devaluation of the Ugandan currency.
§ Mr. Neil MartenI do not believe that a formal scheme would be justified. It has been made clear on more than one occasion to the Uganda authorities that we could provide financial support, if the Uganda Government wished, in respect of students and courses meeting our developmental criteria. I believe the Africa Educational Trust is at present examining which cases might be put to us for consideration.
