HC Deb 19 November 1984 vol 68 c21W
Dr. Marek

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will send the report on St. Helena by Sir Neil Marten to the island Governor so that it can be made available to members of the Legislative Council.

Mr. Raison

No. Sir Neil Marten visited St. Helena as my personal representative and therefore reported personally to me.

Mr. Nellist

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs why the amount of food aid from the United Kingdom to Ethiopia fell from £5,194,000 in 1982 to £2,510,000 in 1983.

Mr. Raison

The figures quoted reflect the level of calls on our bilateral food aid by the world food programme for use in development projects in Ethiopia, as well as 1,500 tonnes of cereals supplied direct in 1982. The figures do not include food aid provided by the European Community.
