HC Deb 08 December 1969 vol 793 c31W
75. Mr. Albu

asked the Minister of Overseas Development what plans she has for extending to the Pacific the cheap book scheme.

Mrs. Hart

My Department attaches considerable importance to the extension of the Low Priced Book Scheme to the Pacific, and a proposal to this effect was put to the publishers concerned earlier this year. Unfortunately the publishers, after consulting their agents in Australia and New Zealand, were unable to give the proposal enough support for an extension at present.
