HC Deb 11 February 1992 vol 203 cc449-50W
Mr. Hunter

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is his policy regarding Overseas Development Administration spending in Mozambique.

Mrs. Chalker

British bilateral aid to Mozambique totalled £25.4 million in 1990. Of that, £12 million was in the form of balance-of-payments assistance in support of the continuing programme of economic reform, while project aid—devoted primarily to the rehabilitation of transport infrastructure—and technical co-operation mainly in the form of manpower assistance, consultancies and training, accounted for some £3 million each. A further £6 million took the form of food and other emergency aid in response to the long-standing emergency. Expenditure is likely to remain substantial in the period immediately ahead.
