§ Mr. Hardyasked the Minister of Overseas Development what new commitments of aid were made by the British delegation at the recent meeting in Paris of the Bangladesh Aid Group.
§ Mr. PrenticeBritain has pledged up to £52 million in new financial aid. £30 million of this is for capital projects, up to £5 million for British fertilisers, £2 million for the natural resources sector and up to £15 million for raw materials, spares and certain invisible services. All but £2 million of this will be given as grants. This is apart from 22,000 tons of cereals to which we have already agreed under the EEC scheme for 1975–76, and which is now on its way to Bangladesh.
