HC Deb 19 June 1969 vol 785 c147W
Mr. Eldon Griffiths

asked the Minister of Overseas Development if he will prepare a feasibility study of the contribution which the United Kingdom could make to a multi-national and European programme of technical assistance by young people to the developing countries.

Mr. Prentice

No. There is no programme of European multi-national technical assistance to which the United Kingdom could contribute, since the policy of the European Economic Community is to concentrate on capital aid. But the British volunteer programme has links with non-Governmental volunteer organisations in Europe.
