HC Deb 25 April 1983 vol 41 cc201-2W
60. Mr. Morton

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how much is provided by his Department towards the education programmes in India.

Mr. Raison

About £561,500 was spent in 1982–83 on educational projects. In addition, expenditure by the British Council from its core budget on exchange schemes which benefit educational institutions, and expenditure on about 620 new training awards in Britain for Indians amounted to some £3.3 million. Britain also contributes to UNESCO, which provides assistance for education in India.
