HC Deb 20 November 1974 vol 881 c443W
Mr. Hooley

asked the Minister of Overseas Development if her Department has developed any computerised system for identifying resources of food, medicines, etc., and means of transport when natural disasters create emergency needs overseas.

Mrs. Hart

No, but this concept is to be looked at in the course of a forthcoming review of arrangements for the co-ordination of disaster relief through the United Nations Disaster Relief Office, and my Disaster Unit will ensure that its own contingency planning is suitably related to any international arrangements that might be devised.
