HC Deb 23 June 1943 vol 390 cc1172-3W
Mr. Price

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any steps are being taken or are contemplated to enable the Middle Eastern Supply Centre to undertake long-term development schemes, as soon as conditions permit, for the countries of the Middle East?

Mr. Eden

It is somewhat too early to make any statement on long-term development schemes for the Middle East, but His Majesty's Government, for their part, will certainly not overlook in this connection the experience which has been gained by the Middle East Supply Centre.
