§ 2. Mr. Prenticeasked the Secretary for Technical Co-operation what further developments will be made in this country's technical assistance programmes arising from the meeting in Geneva this month of the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations; and whether, arising from that meeting. Her Majesty's Government will offer a large British contribution to the United Nations Expanded Programme of Technical Assistance and to the Special Fund for their work in 1964, and call on other countries to do the same.
Mr. CarrI cannot anticipate developments until the recommendations of the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations have been received and their implications for this country's technical assistance programmes studied. With regard to the second part of the Question, I have nothing to add to the answer I gave to the hon. Member on 21st May and to that given by the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs on 15th July.
