HC Deb 10 May 1973 vol 856 cc180-1W
Mr. Fletcher-Cooke

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he has received from UNICEF a request for funds to finance the extension of its project in some Indian States for drilling rigs for clean drinking water; and what reply he has given.

Mr. Wood

I have decided to offer UNICEF £250,000, which will be additional to our annual aid programme for India. It will be about half the cost of the project.
