§ Mr. Tomlinson, pursuant to his reply [Official Report, 22nd June 1978; Vol. 952, c. 285–6], gave the following information:
Records of British aid to St. Kitts, Nevis and Anguilla from 1967 do not permit classification of expenditure or projects for each island, except in respect of Anguilla for which separate figures are available from 1973.
From 1967 to 1972 gross expenditure was as follows:
Year St. Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla 1967 91 1968 182 1969 10 1970 277 1971 1,171 1972 1,626 From 1973 it has been as follows:
Year St. Kitts-Nevis Anguilla 1973 1,115 320 1974 951 378 1975 339 220 1976 723 230 1977 510 281 260 projects were approved in 1967 to 1977. Of these, 156 have been cornpleted—72 in Anguilla since separate records have been kept—and 84 are still being implemented, 22 of which are in Anguilla.
Identifiable expenditure on airfield development included £550,000 for St. Kitts and £335,000 for Anguilla.
We have no records of other bilateral donors' projects for these islands. Canadian aid amounted to US $0,000 in the three years 1974–76. Other sources of aid include the Caribbean Development Bank and the European Development Fund.
