§ Mr. Wallasked the Minister of Overseas Development how long discussions with the Malta Government on British aid for their second five-year plan have been proceeding; why an agreement was not reached prior to the presentation of the budget to the Maltese Parliament; and why the terms of the first five-year plan have not been complied with.
§ Mr. PrenticeDiscussions with the Malta Government have concerned the terms and conditions on which aid should be given during the second five year period provided for in the 1964 Financial Agreement.
