Mr. David Nicholson

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on future British aid to Ethiopia.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

We have agreed to commit £10 million of bilateral development assistance to support projects in Ethiopia in the period 1993 to 1995. In addition, during her recent visit to Ethiopia, my right hon. Friend Baroness Chalker of Wallasey agreed to provide £5 million balance of payments support during United Kingdom financial year 1993–94 to support Ethiopia's economic reform programme.
