§ Mr. George Robertsonasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will publish in the Official Report an account of all aid given to Turkey by the Government.
§ Mr. RaisonBefore 1977, £58,229,000 in aid was provided to Turkey, of which some £4,744,000 was for technical co-operation. A more detailed account of expenditure for these years is not readily available. Since 1977 bilateral aid expenditure has been:
£ million* European agricultural guidance and guarantee fund ¶135.7 Total 1,168.7 Notes
* All figures have been independently rounded.
† These figures are net of decommitments.
‡ Identifiable commitments are in respect of the steel industry only. Figures for aid to the coal industry are not available at the Wales level.
║ This figure is an under-estimate. It does not take into account schemes operated by the mampower Services Commission and others on a national basis in recent years: these cannot be regionally disaggregated.
¶ Figures are based on identifiable receipts and reflect the position as at November 1983.
