§ 46. Mr. Soamesasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assistance is provided to Jordan.
§ Mr. RaisonBritain provides project aid and technical co-operation to Jordan. An £8 million loan for capital aid was signed in 1982 and expenditure from this loan is expected to start this year. The technical co-operation programme is running at present at about £700,000 per annum. In addition to these sums, I have recently agreed a grant of £3.6 million from the aid and trade provision towards a contact won by a British company for electricity transmission.
