HC Deb 10 April 1987 vol 114 c417W
Mr. Kirkwood

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what(a) bilateral and(b) multilateral development aid his Department has provided to Kampuchea since 1979.

Mr. Chris Patten

British bilateral aid to Cambodia for 1979–85 was as follows:

£'000s
1979 703
1980 480
1981 110
1982 18
1983 693
1984 18
1985 18

We make contributions to a number of multilateral aid agencies, such as UNICEF and the world food programme, which have given aid to Cambodia. Figures for multilateral aid are available in an OECD Statistical publication "Geographical Distribution of Financial Flows for Developing Countries" a copy of which is available in the Library.

Since 1979 Britain has provided, largely through international organisations, over £13 million to the international relief effort for refugee camps on the Thai-Cambodian border.
