HC Deb 29 November 1989 vol 162 c255W
Miss Widdecombe

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what further emergency assistance he is providing to Ethiopia in the light of reports of impending famine.

Mrs. Chalker

I approved on 27 November a further allocation of £2 million of emergency relief aid for Ethiopia. This is in addition to more than £7.5 million already agreed this year. This new money will probably be channelled largely through British voluntary agencies involved in the provision of food to those at risk of famine in Eritrea and Tigray.
