HC Deb 04 July 1977 vol 934 cc394-5W
Mr. Kershaw

asked the Minister of Overseas Development what economic aid is currently being given to the Seychelles by the United Kingdom; and what projects are proposed in the next two years.

Mrs. Hart

In March of this year a £10 million loan was signed for development projects to be identified during 1977 and 1978. We are also providing budgetary assistance totalling £1.7 million over the years 1976 to 1979. The projects currently being considered for financing from the loan are mainly in the fields of infrastructure and natural resources development.
