HC Deb 19 March 1991 vol 188 c94W
Mr. Fearn

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will detail plans for financial aid to the Soviet Union.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

We have no plans to provide financial aid to the Soviet Union. With our EC partners we have agreed to provide £177 million in food assistance and £350 million as a credit for food purchases. We also aim to offer technical assistance from our know-how fund, to the sum of £20 million over two years.
