HC Deb 06 November 1989 vol 159 c435W
52. Mr. Pike

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what aid he proposes to make available to Namibia on attainment of independence.

Mrs. Chalker

As my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister stated in the House on 26 October, we are willing to provide financial assistance to independent Namibia. But it will not be possible to make specific plans until we have had discussions with the elected Government on their own priorities and policies.
