HC Deb 19 May 1975 vol 892 c215W
Mr. Ashley

asked the Minister of Overseas Development what was the amount Great Britain devoted to overseas aid in 1974; and what proportion of the gross national product this represented.

Mrs. Hart

Net flows of official development assistance in 1974 amounted to £309 million. This is net of capital repayments to Britain during the year in respect of past aid loans and represents 0.38 per cent. of gross national products in 1974. These figures do not include other official flows.
