HC Deb 17 March 1961 vol 636 cc153-4W
Mr. Dempsey

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations what financial assistance has been given to Southern Rhodesia during the past five years: and for what purposes.

Mr. Sandys

The only financial assistance for the exclusive use of Southern Rhodesia in the last five years has been a loan from the International Bank of £2 million for African farming. In addition Southern Rhodesia has shared in the benefit derived from financial assistance given to the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland.
