§ 34. Mr. Dalyellasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what further aid he is giving to Indonesia.
§ Mr. DalyellThen what has come out of the visit to Djakarta by the Foreign Secretary?
§ Mr. DalyellIn view of the unsatisfactory nature of the reply, I give notice that I shall seek to raise the matter on the Adjournment at the earliest possible moment.
§ 40. Mr. Bryant Godman Irvineasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what feasibility studies, on what subjects, and in which areas, are being undertaken by his Department in Indonesia.
§ Mr. Godman IrvineWill my right hon. Friend not overlook the possibilities of agricultural expansion in certain parts of Indonesia which would appear to be particularly favourable for cattle?
§ Mr. WoodI shall bear in mind these possibilities. Further feasibility studies may be made, and if my hon. Friend wishes to pass on any ideas I shall see whether they can be considered.
§ Mr. DalyellWill the right hon. Gentleman reconsider his attitude, be a little more forthcoming about the Foreign Secretary's visit to Indonesia and say what he hopes to achieve?
§ Mr. WoodI am always ready to be forthcoming to the hon. Gentleman. I have not seen the Foreign Secretary and I do not know what has come out of his visit. However, I know that my right hon. Friend was anxious to obtain firsthand knowledge of the situation there. As to the aid programme, we have offered a great deal more aid for the future. From what I saw 18 months ago, I am sure that the Indonesian Government will make good use of it.
