HC Deb 15 February 1994 vol 237 cc684-5W
Mrs. Dunwoody

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what plans he has to offer support to Belize to implement a scheme of diversification for banana producers.

Mr. Lennox Boyd

The ODA's aid programme to Belize is already focused on agricultural development, but there are no plans for specific aid to banana producers. Funds for development of the banana industry in African, Caribbean and Pacific countries have already been approved in the EC budget for 1994, to which the United Kingdom contributes. We are working with the European Commission to define how these can best be spent.
