HC Deb 26 November 1993 vol 233 c218W
Sir Thomas Arnold

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a further statement about the port of Tanga, Tanzania.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The Tanzanian Harbours Authority has recently advised us of revisions to the tariffs to be charged at Tanga port from 1 December. The potential effect of these changes on future traffic at the port is being examined by the consultants we engaged to review the justification for the project as orginally envisaged, about which my right hon. and noble Friend the Minister for Overseas Development wrote to my hon. Friend on 2 November. A copy of the letter has been placed in the Library.
