HC Deb 26 March 1979 vol 965 c7W
Mr. Onslow

asked the Minister of Overseas Development if she will list the States in receipt of bilateral United Kingdom aid which do not impose restrictions on the inflow of British private investment.

Mrs. Hart

Almost all such countries impose controls on inward investment by foreign nationals—including British nationals—but the severity of these controls varies from country to country. The analytical appendix to the International Monetary Fund's annual report on exchange restrictions, which is available in the Library, lists the principal features of member countries' restrictive systems. A fully comprehensive survey would be expensive and time consuming.
