HC Deb 13 April 1965 vol 710 c156W
31. Mr. John Osborn

asked the Minister for Overseas Development to what extent it is the practice of her Department to concern itself with development and investment in the private sector by British companies as against investment and development in the public sector.

Mrs. Castle

Private investment abroad is not a matter for which I am directly responsible, but I am naturally concerned with the help which it can give to development.
