HC Deb 08 December 1959 vol 615 c33W
Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will give further details of the financial aid to Malta in the current financial year.

Mr. Iain Macleod

The financial aid, amounting to approximately £5 million, which Malta will receive from the United Kingdom in the current financial year is part of the £29¼ million which Her Majesty's Government are contributing towards the cost of the Five Year Development Plan. I regret that I replied in a contrary sense to a supplementary question asked by my hon. Friend on 24th November.

The contribution in the current year is towards estimated expenditure as shown in the plan.
