§ Mr. George Cunninghamasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a further statement about links between companies associated with Mr. J. G. L. Poulson and projects financed by British aid.
§ Mr. WoodSince I replied to the hon. Member's Question on 31st July, I have found that J. G. L. Poulson and Partners were appointed by the Malta Government in 1966 as consulting architects for the Gozo Hospital. This was one of the projects assisted under the 1964 United Kingdom/Malta Agreement on Financial Assistance (Cmnd. 3111). The then Ministry of Overseas Development was not involved in this choice of consultant.—[Vol. 842, c. 19.]
