HC Deb 16 October 1990 vol 177 c774W
Mr. Wray

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent contacts he had with the leaders of the Yanomami people; and what support Her Majesty's Government are giving to them(a) aimed at the protection of their environment and traditions and (b) otherwise.

Mr. Garel-Jones

Overseas Development Administration officials met Chief Davi Yanomami, a Yanomami leader, in December 1989 and April 1990. The ODA last month granted £88,000 to Oxfam for a health care project for the Yanomami in the state of Roraima. This project should provide medical benefits and help the Yanomami to care for themselves in future.
