HC Deb 01 August 1975 vol 896 cc670-1W
Mr. Faulds

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what has been the reaction of Her Maesty's Government to the Algerian initiative that fertiliser plans should be set up in OPEC countries to supply under-developed nations, with OPEC bearing the transport costs.

Mr. Ennals

While we welcome any initiatives by the members of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries to assist the developing countries, and in particular those most seriously affected, such initiatives are essentially matters for the organisation itself.
