HC Deb 01 December 1986 vol 106 c427W
Mr. Madel

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he has any plans for increasing the emphasis on agricultural development in the aid programme.

Mr. Chris Patten

During the past two years project aid related to agriculture has increased from 14.5 per cent. of the total project aid programme to 18 per cent. I intend that this trend should accelerate.
