HC Deb 14 February 1983 vol 37 c1W
Mr. Brocklebank-Fowler

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will take steps to remove the provision of food aid from the Overseas Development Administration budget.

Mr. Raison

Provision for food aid in the overseas aid vote relates to the cost of cereals provided as the British share of the legal minimun obligation of the European Community and its member states under the food aid convention 1980. The British share of the cost of European Community food aid will continue to be attributed to the British aid programme.
