§ 65. Mr. Martenasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how much of the total sum not exceeding £6 million to be spent over the next four years on a programme for the improvement of Great Britain's cultural relations with Europe will be spent in Austria, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, Spain and Portugal.
§ Mr. RipponIt is impossible to be precise at this early stage about the allocation of this money, as much will depend on the response of individual countries and organisations. The Government's approach will be flexible, and it is our intention, while concentrating on Community countries, not to 117W exclude other countries, particularly those which are members of the Council of Europe.
