To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how much aid has been offered under the aid and trade provision to support contracts between the Malaysian Government and Balfour Beatty, General Electric Company, and Trafalgar House for the Pergau hydro-electric project.

An offer of a grant of up to £68.25 million from the aid and trade provision, based on an estimated contract value of £316 million, was made on 17 April 1989. An extension of this offer expired on 17 October 1990. A further extension remains a possibility, but no decisions have been taken.
