HC Deb 16 February 1967 vol 741 c150W
90. Mr. James Johnson

asked the Minister of Overseas Development what action he is taking to help the extension of archaeological research in the new African Dominions of the Commonwealth.

Mr. Oram

None at present. This is mainly a matter for the British Academy which is giving £17,000 a year to the British Institute of Archaeology in East Africa. Within our restricted Aid Programme we must give higher priority to projects of more direct economic benefit.
