HC Deb 28 January 1977 vol 924 cc815-6W
Mr. McNamara

asked the Minister for Overseas Development what is Her Majesty's Government's current policy on the second development decade target of 0.7 per cent.

Mr. Judd

Her Majesty's Government have accepted in principle the UN aid target of 0.7 per cent. of GNP for official development assistance, but progress towards it must continue to be determined by the pace of our own economic recovery and by the other calls on our resources.
