HC Deb 07 June 1978 vol 951 cc174-5W
Mr. Newens

asked the Minister of Overseas Development whether Her Majesty's Government have any proposals for providing further aid to refugees from the Western Sahara.

Mr. Tomlinson

In response to requests for assistance from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the International Red Cross, we have in the past two years made available three allocations, each of £20,000, for the relief of Western Saharan refugees. We have now agreed to make available a further £20,000.
