§ Mr. Willie W. Hamiltonasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement concerning developments since the signing of the agreement with Cuba in 1977 (Agreement Series No. 94 (1977) Cmnd. 6966) concerning scientific and technical co-operation.
§ Mr. RaisonCordial relations are maintained with the Cuban authorities, but to date no activities have been funded under the 1977 scientific and technical cooperation agreement. There are many competing claims on the aid programme for United Kingdom assistance and there are no unallocated funds available for Cuba at present.
