HC Deb 11 April 1973 vol 854 c277W
31. Mr. James Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement regarding aid and technical assistance to Somalia.

Mr. Wood

We are providing to Somalia in 1973–74 technical assistance of about £100,000. About half of this trains Somalis in Britain. A grant of £54,000 in 1973–74 will help Somalia to fulfil its pension obligations to officers of the former British Somaliland Protectorate.
