HC Deb 03 November 1966 vol 735 c149W
58. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Minister of Overseas Development how much aid has been given to Zanzibar since the revolution, and for what purposes.

Mr. Bottomley

No aid has been given to Zanzibar as such since the revolution; grants of £958,000 were however made to the Government of Tanzania, which includes Zanzibar, to enable that Government in 1964 to assume responsibility for meeting Zanzibar's liabilities to expatriate officers in the Public Service. In addition, approximately £8,000 has been spent on the training of Zanzibaris in this country.
