HC Deb 01 February 1966 vol 723 cc182-3W
44. Mrs. Shirley Williams

asked the Minister of Overseas Development what assistance he is giving to the training of African administrators in Zambia and Malawi.

Mr. Oram

Britain is giving Malawi£1 million over the next three years towards its university, which will incorporate an institute of public administration. In Zambia we are making a grant of£1 million towards the new university; and we have provided a tutor in charge of administrative training courses at the staff training college under our technical assistance programme.

In Britain, during the two financial years ending this March, just over one hundred African civil servants from each country have been trained or are in training under British technical assistance.
