§ 34. Mr. Pavittasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when he expects the team from the Land Resources Division to complete their study of the Nawal Parasi area of Nepal; what arrangements are being made with other bodies to follow this project with multilateral aid; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. KershawThe study should be completed, as planned, by the end of 1972. The team's interim findings have led to prelminary discussions with the Nepalese authorities about the possibilities of developing tea estates in the Nawalpur area. It is naturally for the Nepalese Government to initiate subsequent action with the multilateral aid-giving agencies. The Nepal Tea Corporation has already given information about this project to the World Bank's representative in Nepal.
