HC Deb 10 November 1988 vol 140 c268W
Mr. Alton

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to the Turkish Government about conditions in Kurdish refugee camps.

Mr. Waldegrave

We are in regular contact with the Turkish Government about conditions in the camps. Today we donated £250,000 to the British Red Cross to be passed to the Turkish Red Crescent for its relief programme for Kurdish refugees. We congratulate the Turkish Government on their speedy reponse in providing shelter, medical care and foodstuffs for the Iraqi Kurdish refugees from Iraq.
