Table 2 provides data on aid and trade provision projects which have received Overseas Development Administration assistance since 1983 involving the named companies. For ATP projects details of the banking institutions involved are not part of centrally maintained information and could be assembled only at disproportionate cost.
For aid other than technical co-operation and ATP, contracts are placed with United Kingdom firms by overseas Governments or their institutions and not by ODA; our financial aid is made to the recipient country government as a contribution to the cost of these contracts.
