HC Deb 09 March 1970 vol 797 c262W
Mr. Chataway

asked the Minister of Overseas Development whether she will institute an inquiry into the environmental consequences of the proposed hydro-electric scheme at Murchison Falls in Uganda before any capital grants or guarantees are given by Her Majesty's Government.

Mr. Whitaker

The question does not arise in relation to capital grants because I have not been asked to provide capital aid for this scheme. If the question should arise in relation to guarantees, this would be a matter for my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade.
