HC Deb 10 December 1981 vol 14 cc461-2W
Mr. Sainsbury

asked the Lord Privy Seal what response Her Majesty's Government are making to an appeal by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees for funds to assist the many displaced persons from El Salvador now living elsewhere in Central America.

Mr. Neil Marten

We propose, subject to parliamentary approval, to contribute £100,000 to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees for relief work in the neighbouring countries to El Salvador.

Parliamentary approval to the new service will be sought in a Supplementary Estimate for the Overseas Aid Vote.
