§ Mr. Pavittasked the Minister of Overseas Development what additional financial aid the British Government will provide to the Ghana Government in the year 1969–70 following her discussions with Dr. Busia in October.
§ Mrs. HartIn an agreement with the Ghana Government due to be signed in Accra today we are increasing our current loan to Ghana by £1.75 million. With the carry-over of disbursements from 1968 this brings the total of British financial aid to Ghana in 1969–70 to £5.75 million.
The loan, interest-free with a maturity of 25 years, is for the purchase of British goods and services and as a contribution towards the cost of development projects to be agreed between the two countries.
