§ Baroness Hornsby-Smithasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will suggest to the United Nations the formation of an emergency transport service to alleviate the problems of distribution in disaster areas.
§ Baroness YoungThe requirements for transport can vary enormously, depending on the nature and location of a disaster, and we believe that the coordination of offers of help by the United Nations Disaster Relief Office is preferable to the creation of permanent transport capacity.
