HC Deb 30 June 1969 vol 786 cc2-3W
26. Mr. Russell Kerr

asked the Minister of Overseas Development what representations he has had since the beginning of this year for an increase in the aid programme.

Mr. Prentice

Since 1st January I have received five delegations representing various organisations. One hundred and nine letters have been sent to me direct or passed on to me by Members of the House. Many of these carried multiple signatures, or enclosed petitions, bringing the total number of signatures to over 1,000.
