HC Deb 27 June 1973 vol 858 cc333-4W
Mr. Cordle

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is the extent of British investment in Ghana at the present time and the amount of aid being provided to Ghana in 1973.

Mr. Wood

British aid to Ghana in 1973 is expected to be about £1,600,000. Most of this is expenditure on the continuing technical assistance programme, but it also includes some disbursements of financial aid up to 31st March 1973 arising from a past loan agreement, which lapsed on that date.

The amount of British investment is a matter for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry.
