HC Deb 13 January 1986 vol 89 cc447-8W
46. Mr. Hind

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will increase the present British aid programme to the Yemen Arab Republic.

Mr. Raison

I have no plans at present to do so. My visit last week to the Yemen Arab Republic confirmed the useful work being carried out under our technical cooperation programme. I made clear that there might be scope in the future for funds from the aid and trade provision if suitable project proposals were put forward.
