HC Deb 29 January 1991 vol 184 cc457-8W
Mrs. Clwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what action Her Majesty's Government are taking to encourage the Government of Sudan to allow the newly-formed Sudanese Council of Churches to operate famine relief in southern Sudan.

Mrs. Chalker

We have made representations to the Government of Sudan, through the United Kingdom's chairmanship of the donor group in Khartoum, to allow non-government organisations to operate relief activities throughout Sudan to alleviate the present food crisis. We have not taken separate action regarding individual organisations.
