HC Deb 19 June 1992 vol 209 cc716-7W
Mr. Austin-Walker

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment he has made of the effect of United Nations' sanctions against Serbia on Slovenia's tourist trade; and what restrictions have been placed on payments to Slovenian hoteliers or the Slovenian national airline Adria.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

We have made no specific assessment of the impact on the Slovenian tourist industry of United Nations sanctions against Serbia and Montenegro. There are, however, no prohibitions on payments to Slovenian hoteliers or the Slovenian national airline.

Mr. Austin-Walker

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assistance is being offered to the newly independent country of Slovenia to provide services for the refugees arriving from Croatia and Bosnia.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

The relief effort in all the former Yugoslav republics, much of it involving assistance to refugees, is being led by the United Nations humanitarian agencies and the International Committee of the Red Cross. Since last November the United Kingdom has given £9.7 million for its work.
