HC Deb 29 July 1982 vol 28 c647W
Mr. Brocklebank-Fowler

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he proposes to make available official development assistance to Gibraltar; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Neil Marten

A grant of £4 million was agreed in December 1981 for urgent development projects in Gibraltar. Five projects have so far been approved for financing under this grant. The biggest project is the construction of a causeway to replace the existing viaduct bridge and provide a permanent link between the north mole and port area and the town of Gibraltar. Other projects approved are a new sewage pumping station and improvements and replacements to the systems of salt and potable water supply.
