61. Mr. Moynihan

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he has yet reached a decision on requests for further humanitarian assistance to the Afghan refugees in North-West Pakistan and to displaced persons inside Afghanistan; and if he will make a statement.

During his recent visit to Pakistan my right hon. and learned Friend announced an allocation of £4.8 million of bilateral aid for Afghan refugees and displaced persons for the current financial year. This is an increase of 17 per cent. over last year's allocation.
