HC Deb 10 March 1975 vol 888 cc77-8W
Mrs. Jeger

asked the Minister of Overseas Development what proposals she has agreed for the development of the Falkland Islands; and what improvement in the standard of living of the population has been achieved over the last two years.

Mrs. Hart:

Her Majesty's Government are contributing to the Falkland Islands Development Plan at an annual rate of £50,000. This is in addition to the £4.2 million approved for the building of a permanent airfield. Allowing for the differences in environment the islanders enjoy a standard of living as high as that of the United Kingdom.
