Mr. Nellist

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will provide a breakdown of any financial aid that has been given to the Sri Lankan Government since June 1983.

Mr. Raison

Disbursements of aid to Sri Lanka from previous commitments during the period June 1983 to September 1983 inclusive totalled £11,811,000. Of this total, £10,509,000 was for the Victoria dam and hydroelectric project and £1,302,000 for three other projects: water supply, railway rehabilitation and tank irrigation modernisation.

During the same period an additional £10 million has been offered to the Sri Lankan Government towards the costs of the Victoria dam and hydro-electric project.
