41. Mr. Harry Greenway

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how much support has been given to preserving the rain forests of Zaire(a) in the last year, (b) five years ago and (c) 10 years ago; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Chalker

Our technical co-operation programme for Zaire is limited to training and assistance for English language teaching. But European Community commitments to forestry between 1987 and 1989 amounted to £10.7 million, and our share of these came to about £1.8 million.
