HC Deb 20 October 1969 vol 788 c147W
3. Mr. Wall

asked the Minister of Overseas Development if she will make a statement on the dispute with the Government of Malta about aid promised by Her Majesty's Government for the second five-year plan.

Mr. Whitaker

All I can say at present is that we have proposed to provide half the £23 million available by grants and half by loans; we have also offered a short-term interim arrangement to maintain the flow of aid. So far we have not been able to reach agreement with the Malta Government on either offer.
