§ Mr. Stonehouseasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what proportion of aid provided to Pakistan in each of the past five years has been spent in East Pakistan.
§ Mr. WoodIt is not possible to say what proportion of British aid in any one year is spent in East Pakistan, because disbursements are recorded only for the whole of Pakistan. New commitments of project aid for East and West Pakistan during the last five years were as follows:
East Pakistan £ million 1966–67 … … … 3.4 1967–68 … … … 4.2 1968–69 … … … 1.0 1969–70 … … … 0.4 1970–71 … … … 0.122
West Pakistan £ million 1966–67 … … … 1.9 1967–68 … … … 1.6 1968–69 … … … 2.5 1969–70 … … … 3.6 1970–71 … … … 1.6 New commitments of non-project aid during the same period have totalled £28.8 millions but no figures are available of the division of non-project aid between the Provinces.
