To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what aid has been offered to the new Government in Chile; and if he will make a statement.

We are aiming for some expansion in the existing level of UK programmes for training Chileans in this country and for supporting links between Chilean and UK academic institutions. We also hope to develop a new programme of assistance in the technical education sector, and an English language training project. We have in addition agreed to increase our support to the World University Service (UK) by providing £100,000 a year for three years from 1990 to assist Chilean exiles in the UK to return to Chile.
