§ 7. Mr. RowlandsTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will make a statement on future aid programmes to Mozambique.
§ Mr. Chris PattenSo far this year we have committed £5 million to be spent on capital projects, £15 million as support for Mozambique's balance of payments, a further £15 million for food and emergency aid and we have a continuing programme of technical co-operation. We expect to maintain a significant level of assistance to Mozambique both directly and through our contribution to projects sponsored by the Southern African development co-ordination conference.
