Mr. Michael

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment he has made of the impact of renewed civil conflict in Mogadishu and other parts of Somalia during the summer on Her Majesty's Government's policies.

Mr. Waldegrave

We regret the deterioration of the situation in Somalia since mid-July which has led us to make further adjustments to our aid programme.

Mr. Michael

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps he is taking, directly and in conjunction with other countries, to encourage an end to the internal conflict in Somalia.

Mr. Waldegrave

Together with our partners and allies, we continue to urge reconciliation in Somalia and to support efforts to bring about a peaceful solution.
