HC Deb 30 March 1976 vol 908 c469W
Mr. Hooley

asked the Minister of Overseas Development if a compensating financing scheme for the commodity exports of developing countries, whether through the EEC or otherwise, takes into account the effect of inflation.

Mr. Prentice

Extensive improvements were made in the International Monetary Fund's global Compensatory Financing Scheme (CFF) at last January's ministerial meeting. Together with other measures decided upon at that meeting, this should adequately meet the currently foreseen financing needs of the developing countries, without the provision of additional schemes of export earnings stabilisation.
