§ Dr. Edmund Marshallasked the Lord Privy Seal how much aid, in cash and in kind, has been given by Her Majesty's Government to assist refugees from Kampuchea during the last six months.
§ Mr. Neil MartenDetails of the current British Government aid were given in my written reply of 15 January to my hon. Friend the Member for Cambridge (Mr. Rhodes James)—[Vol. 976, c.698]. Before that, in June 1979, we had given £10,000 for the purchase by the Thai Red Cross of immediate relief supplies for Cambodian refugees in Tailand. In addition, the European Community is giving 2,700 tonnes of rice to the office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees—UNHCR—for the benefit of Cambodian refugees in Vietnam; the cost of about 1 million units of account—about £650,000—will be met from the Community budget, of which British taxpayers pay about 20 per cent.
