§ Mr. Skeetasked the Minister of Overseas Development if she will provide the latest amended figures for the amount of Government overseas bilateral aid and the percentage tied to the purchase of British goods and services.
§ Mrs. Hart:I regret that there was a mistake in my reply of 22nd November. ߞ[Vol. 958, c. 605.] The correct figure for 1977 for official development assistance under our bilateral aid programme is £376 million, of which 76.9 per cent. was fully or partly tied to the purchase of British goods and services.
