§ Mr. MichaelTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what discussions he has had with representatives of the American, Italian, German, Russian and other Governments in order to persuade the Somali Government to create the conditions in which development aid from Britain to Somalia can be renewed and increased.
§ Mrs. ChalkerWe have had contacts with a number of other interested Governments, including those to which the hon. Member refers, about the situation in Somalia. We have made clear to the Somali Government our views about the measures that need to be taken before the restoration of our aid programme can be considered.
