§ Mr. Chapmanasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment he makes, when deciding on aid priorities, of the effect of the quality of British aid spent on British goods and services on the domestic economy, and in particular employment.
§ Mr. RaisonOur aid spending produces, directly and indirectly, a very satisfactory level of orders for British goods and services. My Department consults closely with the Departments of Trade and Industry in taking account of the effects of aid spending on the economy, and on employment.
