HC Deb 25 January 1985 vol 71 c539W
Mr. Key

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what further aid he will give to assist the victims of the African drought and the needs of other refugees in the world.

Mr. Raison

I have decided to give £1 million to the 1985 Africa Appeal of the League of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies; £1 million to the Africa Emergency Appeal of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees for use in the Sudan; £1 million to the High Commissioner's 1985 programme for Afghan refugees in Pakistan; and £2 million to the 1985 Africa General Appeal of the International Committee of the Red Cross, to allow it to continue and extend its work in Ethiopia.
