HC Deb 23 April 1969 vol 782 cc96-7W
Mr. Chichester-Clark

asked the Minister of Overseas Development what proportion of Government aid overseas goes to management training and education; and whether he will detail the bodies through which this is channelled.

Mr. Oram

A considerable part of our bilateral technical assistance funds is devoted to improving management skills in the broadest sense through the provision of experts, courses in the United Kingdom and other means. Expenditure on management training and education in the narrower sense is only a part of this, but the problems of definition are such that any precise figure would be open to question.
