§ Mr. Biggs-Davisonasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what are his plans for further United Kingdom participation in the capital city project at Lilongwe and other projects in Malawi.
§ Mr. KershawAt present, Britain is financing nearly 80 projects in Malawi in the fields of renewable natural resources, transport and communications, and social infrastructure, and it is expected that this pattern will continue over the next few years. My right hon. Friend the Minister for Overseas Development was able, while in Malawi last month, to discuss the project for a new capital city at Lilongwe with Malawi Ministers. Ways in which Britain might be associated with this project are at present under study.
