§ Sir David SteelTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if, in the light of the fall of the port of Massawa, Her Majesty's Government will make it their policy to use the distribution network of the Relief Society of Tigray to distribute famine relief in those areas of Ethiopia under rebel control.
