HC Deb 13 February 1984 vol 54 c38W
Mr. Barron

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when he met the disasters emergency committee of the five major British charities; what discussions he had on the problem of relief aid to Northern Ethiopia; and whether anything was concluded.

Mr. Raison

My meeting with the disasters emergency committee on 23 January reviewed the disasters relief situation generally. There was no substantive discussion of particular areas.
