HC Deb 17 November 1969 vol 791 c188W
Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether Her Majesty's Government has offered financial or other aid to the Government of Tunisia or the international fund being created to help Tunisia repair the damage caused by recent floods.

Mr. Luard

Yes. Her Majesty's Government have contributed to first-aid flood relief measures in Tunisia. A total of 2,000 blankets, two large marquees and 171 tents has been sent to the disaster areas. In addition, Her Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires has made a cash contribution of £200 to the Tunis Diplomatic Corps Relief Fund.

Her Majesty's Government are now considering whether there are ways in which they can help in longer-term reconstruction.
