(2) how much aid Her Majesty's Government have given refugees from Cambodia in camps in Thailand since January 1979.
§ Mr. Neil MartenOn our behalf the World Food Programme bought and delivered 2,700 tonnes of rice for Cambodians living in refugee camps along the Thai/Cambodia border. We have also contributed or pledged £2.93 million to the United Nations international child-96W ren's emergency fund and the International Committee for the Red Cross in response to the international appeals for Cambodian relief and about £480,000 to the Disasters Emergency Committee. Our share of the European Community response to the international appeals amounts to about £6.5 million.
The proceeds of the international appeals are devoted to relief within Cambodia as well as to refugees in camps in Thailand and the British share cannot be attributed to any particular part of the operation.
