HC Deb 09 April 1984 vol 58 c1W
46. Mr. Soames

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assistance is provided to Jordan.

Mr. Raison

Britain provides project aid and technical co-operation to Jordan. An £8 million loan for capital aid was signed in 1982 and expenditure from this loan is expected to start this year. The technical co-operation programme is running at present at about £700,000 per annum. In addition to these sums, I have recently agreed a grant of £3.6 million from the aid and trade provision towards a contact won by a British company for electricity transmission.
