HC Deb 16 December 1968 vol 775 c862
23. Mr. John Hynd

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs with which other Latin-American countries Her Majesty's Government have concluded agreements on technical or other forms of mutual aid co-operation similar to that concluded with the Republic of El Salvador in June, 1967.

Mr. Goronwy Roberts

Her Majesty's Government have concluded with Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Peru agreements or understandings on technical co-operation similar to that concluded with the Republic of El Salvador.

Mr. Hynd

I am sure that many hon. Members and other people in the country will be delighted to hear of this progress, and I hope that it will go still further in other Latin-American countries. With regard to the provision for the extension of scholarships, can my right hon. Friend say whether anything is being done by Her Majesty's Government to ensure that more scholarships will be available to the countries under these agreements?

Mr. Roberts

I cannot say without notice, and I am not sure whether that is a question for me. My right hon. Friend might consider tabling a Question and ascertaining which Minister is responsible for answering it.
