HC Deb 14 April 1975 vol 890 cc27-8W
Mr. George Cunningham

asked the Minister of Overseas Development whether she has completed her review of the residence requirements for candidates applying for overseas posts financed or assisted from technical assistance funds.

Mr. John Grant

We have decided that in future provided a candidate is a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies, he or she will not also be required to show evidence of permanent residence in Britain in order to be considered for an appointment overseas wholly or partly financed from British technical assistance funds.
