HC Deb 03 April 1962 vol 657 c21W
3. Dame Irene Ward

asked the Secretary for Technical Co-operation if he will give an assurance that men and women equally will be eligible to become designated officers under the Overseas Aid Scheme.

Mr. Vosper

Yes. Some hundred of women have already been designated under the scheme, and in those countries where the principle of equal pay for expatriate men and women officers did not previously apply, we have operated the scheme so as to introduce it.
