HC Deb 16 November 1984 vol 67 c365W
Mr. John David Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he is satisfied that United Kingdom food aid to famine-stricken areas in Ethiopia has reached the areas in Ethiopia and Tigre not under the control of the Ethiopia Government; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Raison

The United Kingdom's food aid to Ethiopia has been sent both direct to the Ethiopian Government's Relief and Rehabilitation Commission and to voluntary agencies working in all the areas affected by drought, including Eritrea and Tigre.
