§ Mr. George Cunninghamasked the Minister of Overseas Development, in view of the World Bank's call for increased external aid to India to sustain her development, what steps she proposes to take.
§ Mrs. HartOur future policy on aid to India will be considered in connection with the meeting of the Aid India Consortium in June.
