HC Deb 23 February 1965 vol 707 cc47-8W
8. Mr. Dance

asked the Minister of Overseas Development whether she will make more scholarships in this country available to students from Malta.

Mr. Oram

My Ministry provides training facilities, not scholarships. The British Council has allocated four scholarships to Malta for the next academic year, as compared with one for 1964–65, and the Commonwealth Scholarships Commission, which invites three nominations annually from Malta, made three awards in 1964.

9. Mr. Dance

asked the Minister of Overseas Development if she will make a statement on the extension of technical aid to Malta.

34. Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Minister of Overseas Development what plans she has for the extension of technical aid to Malta.

Mrs. Castle

Malta is already in receipt of technical aid, but any request for further assistance will be considered.
