HC Deb 14 April 1994 vol 241 c259W
Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what plans he has for the expenditure of his contribution to the Liberian trust fund.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The details of expenditure are for the UN to decide, on the understanding that our contribution of $1 million is restricted to the fund's humanitarian purposes. We understand that $251,000 is committed to a public information campaign to encourage national reconciliation and to facilitate disarmament, and a further $16,000 will help ex-combatants to resume their studies at the university of Liberia. The balance will be used for humanitarian needs connected to the demobilisation programme.
