HC Deb 06 May 1963 vol 677 cc24-5W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary for Technical Co-operation what was the percentage of total technical and general aid devoted to the development of agriculture, including research, in Commonwealth territories during the past three years.

Mr. V osper

Precise figures are not available, but I estimate that the percentage of technical aid given by my Department to the Commonwealth in the agricultural sphere, including fisheries and forestry and including research, was 10 per cent. in 1961–62 and 13.7 per cent. in 1962–63. Figures for 1960–61 are not available.
