HC Deb 04 August 1965 vol 717 c370W
Mr. Carr

asked the Minister of Overseas Development what is the size of the establishment allocated to the work in connection with overseas development taken over by her Department from the Ministry of Health.

Mrs. Castle

Although my Department of course has considerable responsibilities in the medical field, it has taken over no work from the Ministry of Health. The question therefore does not arise.

Mr. Carr

asked the Minister of Overseas Development what is the size of the establishment allocated to the work in connection with overseas development taken over by her Department from the Colonial Office.

Mrs. Castle

The position is as indicated in my reply to the hon. Member's Questions of 3rd August relating to other Departments.
