answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/07/2014 answer text <p>We have not had recent bilateral discussions with the Government of Angola regarding the food situation.

The UK government does not have a bilateral development programme in Angola, but will continue to monitor the humanitarian situation.</p><p>Under the High Level Prosperity (HLP) Partnership, the UK Government also works closely with the government of Angola to secure increased trade and investment between the UK and Angola, which will contribute to mutual prosperity and deliver sustained equitable economic growth. The UK government will continue to engage closely with the Government of Angola under the HLP partnership and will discuss the humanitarian situation where appropriate.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Northover question first answered 01/07/2014 16:08:40 answering member 2539 label Biography information for Baroness Northover
