HC Deb 14 November 1988 vol 140 c370W
Mr. Parry

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what aid has been given by Her Majesty's Government to Saharawi refugees in the past years; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Chris Patten

Her Majesty's Government have given no direct aid to refugees living in camps in western Algeria. They receive assistance from European Community funds and from multilateral aid agencies to which we contribute; British non-governmental organisations also have aid programmes for these refugees.
