§ Mr. Scottasked the Lord Privy Seal what progress has been made with the Greater Dacca power generation project; and what steps he is taking to ensure that work from further stages of this project remains available to British firms.
§ Mr. Neil MartenTransmission work on the Greater Dacca power project should be completed by mid-1982, and distribution work by the summer of 1983. At the request of the Government of Bangladesh, we shall shortly conduct an appraisal of a possible extension to the project. Any further United Kingdom aid funds committed to it would be tied to the procurement of United Kingdom goods and services in the usual way.
