HC Deb 18 June 1984 vol 62 c8W
33. Mr. Heathcoat-Amory

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he is satisfied with opportunities given to British industry through the aid programme.

Mr. Whitney

Yes. Bilateral aid is tied to the procurement of British or local goods and services. For multilateral aid, British firms are able to tender for all the contracts financed by bodies we support, and these contracts produce substantial benefits for British industry.
