§ 78. Mr. ButterfillTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assistance he proposes to give to the British Industry Committee on South Africa in its efforts to get British companies to invest in social projects in South Africa.
§ Mrs. ChalkerWe have kept in close touch from the outset with the British Industry Committee on South Africa about its scheme to invest in social projects in South Africa. We also maintain contact with the major British companies already involved in such projects, which we welcome. The Government have committed funds totalling £21 million for the five years beginning in April 1987 to our own major development programme for black people in South Africa.
