Mr. Dorrell
asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on aid to Tanzania.
Mr. Chris Patten
In recent years the focus of our programme to Tanzania has been on projects in agriculture, transport and health. We have also maintained a substantial programme of technical cooperation. Last June we offered Tanzania £25 million of programme aid to support economic reforms agreed with the IMF. Some £15 million has been committed so far, mainly for agriculture and transport.I hope to visit Tanzania soon to see something of our aid programme at first hand.
