HC Deb 01 May 1974 vol 872 cc470-1W
46. Mr. Ioan Evans

asked the Minister of Overseas Development if she will seek consultations with Oxfam, War on Want, Christian Aid and other agencies interested in overseas development to encourage greater participation by Great Britain in the United Nations Second Development Decade programme.

Mr. William Price

My Ministry is in frequent consultation with the agencies mentioned and is always ready to hear their representations on particular subjects. We also assist the Voluntary Committee on Overseas Aid and Develop- ment; which, in turn, supports the United Kingdom Standing Conference on the United Nations Second Development Decade to which some 70 national organisations belong.
