§ Mr. Parkasked the Minister of Overseas Development what steps are being taken to ensure the continuation of the overseas training and correspondence courses in co-operation organised by the Plunkett Foundation for Co-operative Studies when its present arrangements with the Nuffield Foundation are changed.
§ Mr. OramFollowing discussions with the Plunkett Foundation, I intend to provide a grant-in-aid to the Plunkett Foundation of up to £15,000 per annum for the five years starting in April, 1966, which, together with a further grant which the Nuffield Foundation have agreed to contribute, will enable the Plunkett Foundation to continue both its training courses which have been recommended by the Advisory Committee on Co-operatives under the chairmanship of Lord Peddie, and other activities to the benefit of developing countries. Provision will be made in the estimates of my Department accordingly.
