§ 48. Sir G. Sinclairasked the Minister of Overseas Development, what order of priorities she proposes to enforce as between different forms of aid, such as Government aid, private aid and technical assistance.
§ Mr. OramIt is not for my right hon. Friend to lay down priorities in private aid, though I am encouraging the coordination of the voluntary organisations' efforts. Within the official aid programme I give priority to technical assistance which is often a pre-requisite of capital aid.
§ 49. Sir G. Sinclairasked the Minister of Overseas Development, what changes in the proportions of aid disbursed bilaterally and multilaterally she proposes to make between 1966 and 1970.
§ Mr. OramIt is the intention of my right hon. Friend to increase the proportion devoted to multilateral aid, but the extent of this must necessarily depend on available resources.
