asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs, in the light of the destruction and suffering inflicted on Mozambique by the South African destabilisation programme, if he will consider making Mozambique the fifth priority country for bilateral aid and allocating to it the same amount of funds as is at present allocated to the other four countries; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
