HL Deb 20 December 1995 vol 567 c152WA
Lord Avebury

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have studied reports of alleged irregularities in the tender procedure for the $700 million Galle Port Project in Sri Lanka, and whether, if any United Kingdom or European aid is earmarked for this scheme, they will have it withheld pending satisfactory investigation of the detailed complaints made by Mr. Anura Bandaranaike MP.

Lord Chesham

We have studied the allegations of irregularities in the tender procedure for the Galle Port Project in Sri Lanka. No British or European Union aid is earmarked for this project.
