When introducing the Financial Resolutions on 14 June, 1966, I stated that, in order to finance the public capital programme at the level fixed in the Budget, it would be necessary to borrow £10 million or more from abroad to supplement home savings. Since then a loan of £5 million was accepted from the Bank of Nova Scotia. I am not prepared to make any statement in advance as to how or when the balance of the foreign borrowing will be effected.
