§ Sir Rolf Dudley Williamsasked the Minister of Overseas Development if he will list in the OFFICIAL REPORT the amount given by the United Kingdom to individual nations of the Commonwealth during each of the last three years and the estimated amount for the current year.
§ Mr. GreenwoodThe table below which includes both grants and loans for economic aid shows individual country figures for 1963 and 1964, and a broad provisional total for 1965. Country figures for the latter year will not be available for some time, but I will let the hon. Member have them as soon as possible. It is not the Government's policy to publish detailed forecasts of disbursements for periods ahead.
