§ Mr. Bottomleyasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what are the Government's intentions regarding the future of aid to Grenada.
§ Mr. RaisonI am today informing the Governor-General that we have agreed to provide up to a total of £750,000 on grant terms to help meet immediate development needs. This will be in the form of both capital aid and technical co-operation and will be used to meet specific requests mainly in the field of police training, advice and equipment and social and economic infrastructure, in particular in the power, water and public works sector. I would expect the bulk of this sum to be spent during the current financial year. Further capital aid and technical co-operation will be considered in the light of longer-term needs.
