HC Deb 26 January 1967 vol 739 cc332-3W
67. Mr. David Howell

asked the Minister of Overseas Development to what extent political criteria enter into his Department's decisions on the allocation of overseas aid; and, if they do, whether he will specify them.

Mr. Bottomley

Within the broad framework of the policy laid down in Section 1 of the White Paper of August, 1965 (Cmnd. 2736), appropriate consideration is given to the political aspects, which are liable to vary from case to case.
