HC Deb 21 June 1982 vol 26 c4W
33. Mr. John Townend

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will direct a proportion of the current year's overseas aid budget to the development of the Falkland Islands.

Mr. Neil Marten

Before the Argentine invasion provision had already been made for expenditure of up/to £672,000 in the current year's aid programme. We are urgently considering what now needs to be done after the repossession of the islands.
