§ Sir Gilbert Longdenasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps are being taken to avoid any gap in the Kenya Land Transfer programme.
§ Mr. WoodAs I told my hon. Friend the Member for Haltemprice (Mr. Wall) on 11th December 1972, I expect to have talks with Kenyan Ministers in the first half of this year about future aid for their development programme. I am meanwhile making a grant of £600,000 available to enable the purchase of British-owned mixed farms for settlement schemes to continue. This sum will form part of whatever future aid is agreed at the talks.—[Vol. 848, c 27–8.]
