HC Deb 07 February 1964 vol 688 cc228-9W
Mr. B. Harrison

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what economic assistance has recently been given by Her Majesty's Government to Morocco.

Mr. R. A. Butler

There is no regular programme of economic aid to Morocco, but Her Majesty's Government operate a modest technical assistance programme. In addition to this, they have recently made to the Moroccan Government a gift of vehicles to a value of £25,000. Parliament will in due course be asked to vote the necessary funds for this gift by means of a Supplementary Estimate. In the meantime an advance will be obtained from the Civil Contingencies Fund.
