asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what actions have been taken by Her Majesty's Government to relieve the situation in Mozambique.

We have committed nearly £14 million in emergency aid for Mozambique so far this year, including a pledge of up to 30,000 tonnes of cereals. In addition our share of emergency and food aid provided by the European Community this year amounts to nearly £3 million.

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on British aid to Mozambique.

Our aid programme to Mozambique has increased substantially in recent years. We have committed nearly £34 million in capital aid and emergency assistance in 1987. Our aid also includes technical cooperation and training programmes; Mozambique additionally benefits from our assistance to projects sponsored by the Southern Africa development coordination conference.
