HC Deb 30 January 1978 vol 943 c64W
Mr. Grylls

asked the Minister of Overseas Development what proportion of Great Britain's aid to India in 1977–78 will be represented by the gift of £52.8 million of new cargo vessels.

Mrs. Hart

The disbursements on the ships in 1977–78 would represent just over 18 per cent. of the United Kingdom bilateral aid available to India in the same period. Further disbursements would be made in 1978–79 and 1979–80.
