HC Deb 01 June 1965 vol 713 c180W
35. Mr. Duffy

asked the Minister of Overseas Development if she will make a statement about development aid to Kenya.

Mrs. Castle

Her Majesty's Government have offered to lend to the Kenya Government up to £3 million for capital development in the Kenya financial year 1965–66 on terms to be agreed, and to advance a sum of £1 million for the Kenya Land Bank and Agricultural Finance Corporation for the same period. The loan for capital development will be used for projects to be agreed between the two Governments.

The House will be asked to vote a Supplementary Estimate in due course for such amounts as will be borne on my Department's Votes; in the meantime, advances will be sought from the Civil Contingencies Fund as necessary.
