HC Deb 29 January 1986 vol 90 c526W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement about the recent intensive training course held at the Cooperative college, Lusaka, and the assistance contributed by the Plunkett foundation.

Mr. Eggar

The course, which took place in November, was concerned with the marketing and distribution of agricultural produce. The students were nominated by the co-operative unions in Zambia, and the instructors included four tutors from the Plunkett Foundation; the cost of their services was met from the British aid programme. I am grateful to the foundation for its contribution to the success of the course.
