HC Deb 27 February 1975 vol 887 c235W
Miss Richardson

asked the Minister of Overseas Development what aid, in addition to technical assistance, she proposes to offer to the Government of Ghana.

Mrs. Hart

I have offered £10 million for expenditure on projects which I propose should be mainly in the agricultural and rural sectors. The Government of Ghana welcomed this. I hope that a small team of my officials will visit Accra as soon as it is mutually convenient for discussions concerning appropriate projects. Our technical assistance programme, which at present amounts to £1.5 million a year will continue in close consultation with the Ghanaian Government.
