§ 74. Mr. Bowen Wellsasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what new policy decisions were taken at the recent European Community Development Council meeting.
§ Mr. RaisonThe development council on 15 November approved new policy guidelines for food aid and for continuing aid to non-associated developing countries.
§ Mr. WellsWill these new arrangements mean less food aid and provide more constructive aid to help develop the indigenous production of food?
§ Mr. RaisonWe have been trying to get away from the idea of food aid as a means of disposing of Community surpluses and to make aid of more value for development purposes.
