§ 34. Mr. Dudley Smithasked the Minister of Overseas Development whether she will make a statement regarding new proposals affecting the scale or nature of British aid to Zambia following her recent visit to that country.
§ Mrs. CastleIn my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Hitchin (Mrs. Shirley Williams) on 23rd March I announced that Britain had offered a further £10 million financial aid over the period 1965 to 1970 and I discussed some of the aspects of this aid during my recent visit. Zambian Ministers made clear to me the importance they attach to British assistance in meeting their manpower needs, and we shall of course continue to do all we can to help them.
