§ Mr. Hooleyasked 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. HartNo, 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.
