§ 64. Mr. Peter M. Jacksonasked the Minister of Overseas Development what new aid agreements were entered into following the recent Commonwealth Prime Ministers' Conference.
§ Mr. PrenticeNo new development aid agreements resulted from the meeting of Commonwealth Prime Ministers in January. The meeting did, however, 339W review the present extensive range of Commonwealth co-operation in functional fields and considered a number of proposals for increased co-operation in specific areas. These proposals were noted and referred to the Commonwealth Secretariat in consultation as necessary with the Commonwealth Education Liaison Committee for further consideration and appropriate action. They included proposals from Britain for the extension of co-operation in the legal field by the establishment of a legal section in the Commonwealth Secretariat and to hold a conference on legal education; to set up new regional centres for the teaching of English and Science; and to initiate a series of studies on the problems of youth.
