HC Deb 29 October 1987 vol 121 c397W
Mr. Wray

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether the offer made in Vancouver at the Commonwealth conference of British aid to the front-line states includes funds, technical cooperation and military protection of the Benguela railways.

Mrs. Chalker

A programme of co-ordinated Commonwealth assistance to the front-line states was agreed at Vancouver, giving priority attention to the Limpopo railway and port of Maputo initially, to which we had already committed £16 million. No separate British offer was made.
