HC Deb 06 July 1994 vol 246 c206W
Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what action is being planned by the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries to remedy the defects in transport arrangements in efforts to counteract the famine in the Hararghe area of eastern Ethiopia.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The rural road network in Hararghe is poor. But British non-governmental organisations operating in the region believe that transport capacity is adequate to distribute available food aid.
