HC Deb 30 June 1986 vol 100 c380W
Mr. Tom Clarke

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is the current amount of overseas aid for Sri Lanka; if he will indicate what percentage has been allocated for military equipment; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Raison

Expenditure for Sri Lanka from the overseas aid programme during the current financial year is expected to be about £5 million. None of this has been allocated for military equipment; aid programme resources are not made available for this purpose.
