HC Deb 30 November 1955 vol 546 c210W
79. Mr. Awbery

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how much of the £7,000,000 contribution of Her Majesty's Government to aid under-developed countries and agreed to at the annual meeting of the countries in the Colombo Plan, is to be allocated to Singapore and Malaya, respectively; and in what way this aid is to be given.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

No part of the contribution of £7 million which Her Majesty's Government are to make to the Colombo Plan Technical Co-operation Scheme will be spent on technical assistance for Singapore or the Federation of Malaya. Such assistance is given by the United Kingdom to these Territories in other ways.
