§ Mr. WorthingtonTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps are being taken to reform the police force in Mozambique on similar lines to the military and to train FRELIMO and RENAMO supporters together; and what British or European Union funds are being used for this purpose.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydThe police and the armed forces in Mozambique are separate. There are no current plans to change the composition of the police. However, a United Nations police contingent of 1,300 has started to arrive in Mozambique to monitor police activity and to observe the run-up to the elections. It is being funded in the UN budget to which we and other members contribute. Neither we nor the EC have plans to help with police training.
§ Mr. WorthingtonTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what contributions are being made by Britain and the European Union to an education for democracy process in Mozambique.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydThere is an education for democracy component in the United Nations Development Programme's electoral assistance project. We are contributing £600,000 and the European Commission about £8.6 million to the project.
§ Mr. WorthingtonTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is the current contribution of each of the specialist development organisations of the United Nations to Mozambique.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydI will write to the hon. Member when I receive the relevant information from the United Nations.
