 Another example of this is the case of "R v Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, ex parte World Development Movement Ltd".Section 1 of the Overseas Development and Co-operation Act 1980 empowered the Foreign Secretary to assign funds for development aid of economically sound projects.The Secretary of State assigned the funds for a project to construct a power station on the Pergau River in Malaysia (see Pergau Dam) which was considered uneconomic and not sound.
