§ Mr. JackTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many British forestry experts are now on Overseas Development Administration-sponsored programmes in Brazil.
§ Mrs. ChalkerThe first proposed forestry projects under our memorandum of understanding with Brazil are at present awaiting approval by the Brazilian Government. We hope to receive confirmation of their agreement to one (a climate research project involving the Institute of Hydrology) later this month. Mobilisation of the British experts involved would then follow as quickly as possible.
