HC Deb 15 July 1993 vol 228 c605W
Mr. Wareing

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what discussions he has had with his United States and European Community counterparts about their contributions to United Nations aid for the peoples of the former Yugoslavia.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Humanitarian aid for the peoples of the former Yugoslavia, including assistance through the United Nations, is the subject of frequent discussion with our partners in the European Community and the United States. My right hon. and noble Friend the Minister for Overseas Development announced an additional package of humanitarian aid for the former Yugoslavia of £18.5 million on 12 July, thus bringing our total bilateral commitment to £63 million. Details of this new package will be set out on 16 July at the meeting of donors which has been called by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and we urge other donors to follow our example.
