asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he plans to offer further aid to the new Government of Grenada.

I am today informing the Grenada Government that we are prepared to make available a new interest-free loan of £5 million, for expenditure over about five years, on capital projects to be agreed between our two Governments. This follows an initial commitment of £750,000 which I announced to the House on 28 November 1983, at column 378, and a subsequent £1 million loan which I announced on 7 February 1984 at columns 566–67.
