HC Deb 24 June 1981 vol 7 c105W
Sir Bernard Braine

asked the Lord Privy Seal what plans have been agreed by Her Majesty's Government with the Government of Fiji for the development of Rabi Island in accordance with Her Majesty's Government's offer of £1 million in November 1978; and what progress has been made in respect of such development.

Mr. Neil Marten

We await signature of the formal grant agreement by the Government of Fiji, and the Fiji Department of Foreign Affairs recently undertook to look into this urgently. Five projects were approved in principle by the Overseas Development Administration appraisal mission which visited Rabi Island during October 1980.
