HC Deb 16 March 1987 vol 112 cc348-9W
Mr. Cash

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the size and content of Britain's aid programme to Kenya.

Mr. Chris Patten

British bilateral aid to Kenya has averaged some £35 million a year over the last five years. This includes investments made by the Commonwealth Development Corporation. During my recent visit I offered the Kenyan Government a new capital aid grant of £50 million to be spent over the next few years on agreed development projects. The main economic sectors we are assisting are agriculture, energy and transport, while our technical co-operation programme concentrates on education, public administration and training in the United Kingdom.
