§ Mr. Prenticeasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs to what reasons he attributes the fall in the percentage of gross national product devoted to official overseas aid from 0.39 per cent. in 1969 to 0.37 per cent. in 1970.
§ Mr. WoodThe percentage fell because the increase in the gross national product turned out to be greater than the increase in the net aid programme over that of the previous year.
