§ Mr. George Cunninghamasked the Minister for Overseas Development how much of the Government's returnable grant to the Crown Agents has been handed over to the Crown Agents and in which years; and what arrangements have been made as regards the interest accruing on the total sum promised.
§ Mr. PrenticeThe recoverable grant of £85 million was credited to an account of the Crown Agents at the Bank of England on 24th December 1974. Since the assistance was provided in the form of a grant, no interest is payable on it by the Crown Agents to Her Majesty's Government.
