asked the Minister of Overseas Development whether she will publish in the Official Report a summary of the total disbursements by way of aid made by her Department since February 1977, showing the countries to which the aid has been given and the specific purpose of each gift or loan.

Material in the form requested could be provided only at disproportionate effort and cost. Full details of disbursements on overseas aid by financial years up to March 1978 are contained in the Appropriation Accounts for 1976–77 and 1977–78—Volume 1 class II vote 8—and in "British Aid Statistics 1973–1977".
