§ Mrs. HartI am ready to respond to the Special Appeal for Bangladesh, subject to parliamentary approval, by contributing £250,000. This will be spent on providing Vitamin A capsules and on well maintenance and repair in rural areas.
I intend to seek provision for this expenditure in the Summer Supplementary Estimates, and it may be necessary to seek recourse to the Contingencies Fund.
