33 Mrs. Owen asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if he will give an up-to-date report on how advanced the EC's programme of food aid to Africa is in view of their recent announcement that they were making an immediate 400,000 tonnes of grain available; and whether the EC will increase this amount to 750,000 tonnes, which is the minimum required by June this year to prevent many millions of people dying, particularly in view of the fact that there are 18 million tonnes of grain in intervention stocks in the EC.
