HC Deb 11 March 1985 vol 75 c30W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will set up an official scheme whereby money contributed voluntarily towards famine relief in Ethiopia will attract a pound-for-pound supplement from Her Majesty's Government.

Mr. Raison

I do not see the need for any new scheme. Both the public and the Government have responded generously to the needs of Ethiopia and other drought affected parts of Africa and will, I am sure, continue to do so.
