HC Deb 31 October 1983 vol 47 c276W
Mr. Ian Lloyd

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether the recently announced cancellation of Mozambique's indebtedness to the United Kingdom covers any sums outstanding on orders placed by that country with the United Kingdom for the supply of arms.

Mr. Raison

No. Retrospective terms adjustment applies to our previous aid loans, which in accordance with the Overseas Aid Act have not been used for military purposes.
