HC Deb 02 August 1971 vol 822 cc212-3W
35. Mr. Judd

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether it is his policy to bring total British aid levels up to those of the European Economic Community.

Mr. Wood

Our official aid as a proportion of G.N.P. has been below the Community average, but the provisional figure for total flows from Britain in 1970 was a little above the average. Substantial increases in our official aid over the next few years have been announced.
